getting repos.

[sys_alpha]

hi all,
I wanted to know that is there any way to get all upgrades/updates ,that one need to do after installation using apt-get , in a go and save them to disk so that the offline users can get benefit of this by just getting them from disk rather than from Internet.

Daily builds of Ubuntu CD images are available from this wensite if you should need them : http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily/
Using this you can straight install an up-to-date system, or upgrade an existing one (using the Alternate CD only).

Use the aptoncd (http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/) utility to save all your update files located in your /var/cache/apt/archives/ directory to a CD media.


sudo apt-get install aptoncd

thanks for reply .
But all i want to do is update/upgrade a system connected for some time to internet and then move that system to some other place where internet is not available then i want to upgrade all other systems using this upgraded system.

This is doable in one respect if i make my system a repository place and change the sources.list and all those apt-get/utils things . But i want to do this by using simple pen drive transportation , is there any way to do this ?

My next Q is suppose i have XP machine with internet connectivity , can i download all upgrades to its HDD and upgrade my other systems which don't have internet using simple PenDrive operations ?
Thanks in advance.
