Joachim, You are on the right track with using fetch in an image that is outside the firewall ... zip up the directory of mcz files and you are off to the races. BTW, you don't need an "empty" image if you set ignoreImage to true before doing the fetch: version ignoreImage: true.

I guess the answer is no, because I have no | way of looking into the required Configurations that are unfetched. | So I need to use a local directory and try step by step and download | the mcz that is currently missing... oh my. | | | Or can I use a fresh image on a machine in another network to fetch | all and copy the contents of my package cache onto the target | machine??? | | | Joachim
