(1/1)

whitehunk:
Hi, I have a laptop with Debian (Lenny), and want to install packets, update system etc.. I have no access to the internet on my linux pc, but have a Windows XP pc connected to the web... is there a way to do this updating offline with the help of my connected windows pc ?

aktiwari4u:
i have no idea about offline updating but yes you may you a  small proxy server at you windows system to provide net facility to your linux box and then you may update your linx box.

whitehunk:
Thanks for your answer. Im totally blank on proxy servers, though :-) do you have a specific link on how one is about to do it, or is my best bet "our old pal" Google ?

aktiwari4u:
one of the smallest one proxy you may get from here only

it usage 6588 port

whitehunk:
Okay, thanks for the link  :) Without any knowledge on this subject, I guess that the theory behind using a proxy, is that my internet connection "dont care" if I surf from a linux box via a windows pc ? Ill try to figure out this proxy, and will report back here for sake of this help-forums users  ;) Thanks again for your help.
