Offline Software Installation in Ubuntu

[grahammechanical]

This is also useful for those who are on-line but using a dial-up modem.

When I was using a dial-up modem I would install the latest Ubuntu from a DVD given away by a computer magazine. Then I would have to download those extra programs that I wanted to use. I always wanted to know how to do this in the off-line way.

Thank you.

Regards.

Glad some of y'all find it useful.

Updating Synaptic offline seems to be rather involved but possible. I'm doing the research now. What I think I'll do is leave this thread as it is, and start a new one on installing and updating Synaptic offline. Maybe I'll put a link or something then at the bottom of this one.

OK! Got the offline update thing figured out. I'm working on the second tutorial right now.

Alright! Tutorial completed. I'm going to get it posted in Tutorials & Tips as well, but for now it's in Absolute Beginner.
