hi every body. i want to install softwares on a system which is not connected to internet. my friend system has net connection and he installed all required softwares by downloading from net.

i followed this method.
i gave command in my friend system
“ sudo cp -R /var/cache/apt/archives /media/SHIVA”

In my system i gave these commands

“ cd /media/SHIVA/archives ”

“ sudo cp -R * /var/cache/apt/archives ”

You could use a program called keryx (http://keryx.betaserver.org/) for installing software without a Internet connection.
