Re: How to save updates instead of only installing
What's so great with Xubuntu 11.10 to be worth such a hassle???
For Ubuntu usually the repositories are kept longer, they are only moved to archive instead of being "available". You can still use them. Of course, they never get more updates.
Also, you can always download and keep all packages with their .deb and install it with dpkg but only if you have all the dependent packages too. So, it's quite a fishing to get all you need including the dependencies.
I see that Xubuntu 12.04 is also a LTS. If you ever reinstall from scratch, why don't you simply install 12.04 LTS. Better than chasing up packages.
