Hello everyone at Ubuntu Forum. I am new to the Linux/Ubuntu Operating system and i was wondering if anyone here can teach me or point me in the right direction of a guide or tutorial of a way to download packages (debs, tar, etc.) from my Vista laptop (with Wi-Fi) to a USB Flash Drive, then transfer to my desktop running nothing but Ubuntu 10.04 with absolutely no internet connection but my iPhone 3G to tether from, but ive used up about all my data and my bill doesn't change until the 13th of July. So this is the only way i have to download and upgrade my packages.
Ive seen the way to use Keryx on the USB but it says it doesnt support any version past 8.
I also did something with the symatic package manager. i forgot what it was called. but it made some text file. it was for being able to transfer packages from another computer. but idk what to do next.
sorry about my spelling, I know I spelled a couple things wrong..
but thanks in advance. you ubuntu people seem like the coolest group of people for a forum.
edit: Also i saw a thread with a bunch of Deb files all together so i wouldn't have to get the all the dependencies of the deb files. but it only listed up to version 8, so are those debs unusable on 10.04?
