How to install packages offline

[I_have_seen_the_light]

Hi

I'd like to be able to install Dia, however, I dont have an internet connection at home. I tried seaching in thedebian archives and when I tried to install the package it was asking for dependencies.

is there a way for me to download Dia and all the dependencies from a internet shop and then save it in a thumb drive and then install it in my PC? also would it be possible to save packages (including the dependencies)in a DVD drive and then just have synaptic insatll the packages from the drive?

any help is appreciated :)

Make sure you also download all the dependencies a package needs, or it couldn't run.

you can try wapt-get

it can get almost packages
