COMMENTS

apt-mirror uses /etc/apt-mirror.list as a configuration file. By default it is tuned to official debian mirror in Finland. Change it for your needs.

After you setup the configuration file you may run as root:

     # su - apt-mirror -c apt-mirror
 
 

Or uncomment line in /etc/cron.d/apt-mirror to enable daily mirror upgrades.
