COMMENTS
apt-mirror uses /etc/apt/mirror.list as a configuration file. By
default it is tuned to official debian mirror in Finland. Change it for
your needs.
After you setup the configuration file you may run as root:
# su - apt-mirror -c apt-mirror
Or uncomment line in /etc/cron.d/apt-mirror to enable daily mirror
upgrades.
