Hi guys, I'm a new user of the forum and would like to have some help about this topic...
After years of struggling we finally received a brand new pc for personal use in the office where I work. I never used (k)ubuntu or debian in my life, always worked on gentoo and slack but considering all my colleagues at work have never seen a linux box in their life I've decided to install kubuntu hardy for them.
Now my problem is: we have no internet connection at all and no way to get it; none of us has ubuntu at home ( so I can't use any debmirror etc...); I installed from dvd but still need hundreds of packages and dependencies ( like mplayer, gaim, klamav etc...)
All the guides I've found around do not fit my needs due to the fact they refers to another ubuntu box or something else I can't use for my situation :-(
My question is: I have large usb external disk, is there a way I can download ALL (main-universe-multiverse etc...) packages at home, copy them on the disk and use it as a repository? I definitely think it's possible but have no idea where to look for! It's my 2 day on kubuntu and still have no clear idea of how it works... Any help, suggestion, tips will be appreciated,
sorry for the long post, bye
