Hello,
I have no internet connection on PC that I want to install packages to. Downloading them manually and using my usb drive to transfer them seems needlessly complicated and error prone. I was wondering if there was a way to automatically download a package and all its dependencies as .debs or a portable repository on my usb drive to install on my off line machine. So far I can get packages but get lost when they have too many sub-dependencies. Please ask if you need any clarification on my situation, any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Nwf
