Hello,
I'd like to mirror/download the Debian repository of Trinity to my local machine. This because I want to create my own Debian AMD64/i386 CD/DVD just as there are (already) Kubuntu based ones (in http://depot-trinity.dotriver.eu/cdimages/kubuntu/maverick/)
Is there an easy way to do this (FTP server)? I tried to search for a FAQ (RTFM?) on this topic on this website (and on the web) but sofar the answers are less then satisfying.
Many thanks in advance for any advice on this!
Erik van Asperen.

I use the Debian 'apt-move' package to build and maintain my local partial mirrors as I have a small render farm and don't want to have to repeatedly download everything for each individual system update.
It's a command-line tool but I found it very easy to configure and use.
Briefly, it will allow you to build local (optionally partial) mirrors from the .debs you download when you update the first system (provided that you don't delete the .debs after downloading and installing them on that first system).

Another (poorly documented) way to grab files is via the rsync server on our primary mirror. You can copy the rsync URL from the small rsync icon on this page: http://trinitydesktop.org/mirrors.php

Using apt-cacher-ng here on Squeeze, tried the others and found that the most reliable. Like the alternatives (apt-move, approx..., ) caches what you download during apt-get/aptitude operation to a "repo-image" format. Is very much self-maintaining once set up and works well as an apt server.on LAN
Certainly earned it's keep here while main mirrors were down recently
To mirror the whole lot... it's rather large!

There is already (unofficial) Squeeze/TDE live-cd:
http://www.exe-linux.fastfishwebsolutions.com/trinity/
If you want to build another, feel free to use/adapt the TDE-specific live-config scripts from ExeGNU, might save a lot of work
