how can I change the apt-get download location?
Greetings,
I want to change where apt-get downloads debian packages to, in order to keep the root partition from overflowing. Seemingly simple task, but I've searched and searched and no answer Thank you :) |
from the apt.conf manpage - I've never tried changing the archive dir, so can't offer anything more specific :cool:

If you don't need the local cache (and who really does?), type apt-get clean
That should help you reclaim more space. If you really need to change the place in /var/cache that you are downloading to, you might want to create a symbolic link to another directory where you want the packages to actually to. |
