Hi, I need to install updates for Ubuntu 8.10, but I have no Internet connection. I'm in a foreign country so getting a connection is troublesome.

Whenever I download a package and try to get all of it's dependencies, I invariable have to come back to the Internet shop to download those missed dependencies. It seems that I am constantly returning to the computer shop to download various packages! It never ends!

Does anyone know of a web site that, perhaps, tars a package with all of it's dependencies, so I don't have to constantly run to the Internet shop to download packages?

Thanks in advance,
Marc

Check out Keryx (http://keryx.betaserver.org), it can download software just like synaptic from any computer and save them to a flash drive so that you can install them on your computer that has no internet.
