Hello guys,
I like to do a lot of customization in linux & I format & install it too many times, too frequently.
But When I want to install something, I have to fetch all the packages again from the server.
To avoid doing that, I use AptOnCD to backup my cache & restore it.
Then I use add remove programs or synaptic to install packages.
But I also use many packages from 3rd party repositories.
How can I install those packages?
Also, In the meantime, If packages in repository are upgraded, Old packages are ignored. How to avoid that?
