   * There are some extremely useful cross-platform 'apt' tricks that can be used to get packages when using Debian GNU/Linux (possibly others) for installation on GNU. This is especially useful if your GNUMach doesn't recognize your network card. The steps are covered in the file `/usr/share/doc/apt-doc/offline` which has been used by several Hurd developers successfully.
     * create an `/etc/apt/apt.conf.offline` like [[AptConfOffline]].
