That effort is on hold [almost abandoned].

I haven't yet read the documentation for apt-cache-ng and don't know if it would match my mental image. I was assuming that that all the packages that I downloaded/upgraded were still in a cache which could be transferred to the target machine via a flash drive. The machines are adjacent. My current priority is verifying my Buster system is properly setup. > > Cheers, > David. > > >
