hi there
4 a total noob, if i had a set of dvd's with ubuntu software repositories on them, but i didn't want to have to eject and load a new disc everytime i wanted to install packages with dependencies over several discs. would i be able to copy the discs to my harddrive and set up synaptic to use a location on my harddrive with subfolders containing packages?
i tried these instructions
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Repositories/Ubuntu?action=show&redirect=AddingRepositoriesHowto
but they seem to get a bit blurry when it gets to the part that i'm interested in ie.
nfs (works only if the computer is connected to a NFS share)
file://path/to/local/directory
