Yes, there's a bit to be done to set up a local apt repo. I've not  
actually tried myself yet... It'll be a bit different than prescribed  
in that Debian doc, since there are no dpkg tools in apt for rpm, but I  
presume there are parallels. Axel? Care to enlighten us on how one  
would quickly set up a local apt repo to share stuff to multiple  
machines?

An alternative, which would also achieve much of the same goal (save  
bandwidth and time) would be to kick off an install on one machine,  
then just copy the files it downloads over to the other machines before  
starting them on their way. All the packages are stored in  
/var/cache/apt/archives. (You could also get creative w/an NFS share,  
etc, etc).
