m new to ubuntu, very new..

i downloaded "wine" from: packages.ubuntu.com, but do we have to download all the dependencies seperately?? or does the final package includes all of them??

No, it does not include all dependencies.

If you download manually, you have to ensure you have all dependencies.

Why did you download from packages.ubuntu.com? Easier would be to use synaptic. System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager

If you download from Synaptic, then all the dependencies will be automatically downloaded. If you download from packages.ubuntu.com, then you will have to make sure that the dependencies are downloaded and installed.

Cant' you take your box to somewhere with a connection, install everything then take it back?

Thats what i would suggest

if you have access to a ubuntu machine connected to the internet, you could select to install wine on that machine in synaptic, but when the dialog pops up, check 'download package only' or whatever it's called.

that should get all the dependencies aswell, AFAIK. or you could look up all the dependencies by right clicking wine in synaptic and clicking properties.
