[Apt-offline-devel] Questions about apt-offline

Fri Apr 16 15:07:04 UTC 2010

Thank you Ritesh!  However the isolated box is without reach at the moment,
I'll have to wait till
Monday when they go to work and I can ask them to bring the zip inside.

Will report back as soon as I can try it out.

Just out of curiosity, what should the proper signature file look like ?

thanks again,

Georg
