| Installation from a pre-mounted directory with changing content. |
| |
| The directory contains the Packages.gz file from each distribution |
| area being installed (usually main, contrib, non-free, local and |
| eventually non-US) as well as an excerpt of the corresponding |
| binary/*/*.deb files. |
| |
| The easiest way for them to get this is to make a (partial) copy of |
| the distribution site's directory hierarchy, if possible. |
| |
| The contents of the mounted directory may change. Thus it's possible |
| to use this method for installations from images of a CDROM set. |
