Hello everyone,
I installed ubuntu 10.04 LTS on my home pc alongside windows 7. This being a pc without an internet connection, I thought I could use my dual-booting laptop to carry packages downloaded from internet repositories. I can transfer the packages from the laptop's cache, but then I need to find a method easier than installing them individually, while also taking care of dependencies. In the case of g++, circular dependencies made even that impossible.
Now, I know of aptoncd, but it seems to offer help only in recovering packages, not in installing them. It has the option of creating an installation cd, but after creating an iso on the laptop, and mounting it on the pc, I don't know what to do for installing them.
If anyone can provide me with some pointers, I can struggle easier, I think.
Best wishes for everyone,
Hurol Aslan
