Guys I'm only interested in these two methods.

Since I like to work off the grid, I prefer to download my packages and install them offline. There are two ways of doing this and I'd like to know which is better and why.

With Debian: dpkg -i...

I thought you were criticizing them. You did say snaps patch without permission which is a bad thing.

This seems to contradict your opening statement about not agreeing. At the very least fall...

I think one of the biggest challenges for independent Linux distribution is software management. Like you said there doesn't seem to be a real solution to this.

Sorry for the late reply. I'm looking for an easy way to backup that won't require the internet to restore. THe programs you download from the software center.

Wouldn't a list like that require the internet to restore the programs?

Hi there. I've been trying to write a bash script to backup packages. There's actually a few different methods to do this and I wanted to ask which one you guys think is best for reality and...

Thanks for responding but apt-mirror is pain and I never got it working. With repositories on multiple discs is there anyway to just add them to the system?

Thisis frustrating me being belief. So I’m trying to set up a little dvd repository and I can never get it to work. https://www.pcsuggest.com/how-to-use-an-iso-file-as-offline-repository-in-debian/I...

I'm writing a bash script to install and activate crossover locally. All I need now is the license part. I can use wget with a dropbox link to get the license that way but I'd rather use the generate...

Peppermint is being used for this example. Is that why it was moved?

Hey guys. Does anyone here have any experience with apt-mirror. I've been trying to use it to set up a local repository using apt-mirror but for some reason I can't get it to work. I have of course...

You know I'm not a Linux expert right? Almost all my threads have been closed by the mods. Alright I have one for you. Do you really think that bullying someone who's just trying to learn how things...

Yes I have read http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2010/09/linux-file-system-structure/ and many articles like it. This is just curiosity about the Linux infrastructure. When installing programs you are not...

Well I'm a desktop user and prefer the GUI. I think someone mentioned that you can use simlinks redirect where programs get installed. Can you do that? I mostly started this thread in the OS chat...

I'm a GUI user and try to avoid CLI because I am a desktop user. root is a word that can have many different meanings. By root address I mean the root address of the file.

example A: xdg-open...

That's an odd description. Symlinks are defiantly interesting but I think desktop shortcuts are a bit of a waist of their function.



Most of what you wrote in this post has gone way over my...

So are these shard files used to save space and make things more efficient.

How much space does it take. Also are there official versions of ubuntu that come with 32bit arch?

Right well Linux can have shortcuts too that work exactly the same. symlinks aren't the same as shortcuts because they don't' retain the root address but a shortcut does. Example of a shortcut to my...

Oh so you can use symlinks. I'm still not entirely sure what they are. I know that's what gets created when I try to make a shortcut. Can you tell me why Ubuntu uses symlinks instead of shortcuts. A...

Thanks I will give that a read. What I would like though is a more layman's answer. Is it to do with the way it indexes or whatever it has in-place of a registry?

Right, but why force it. Windows has directories like that too.

When installing programs either from a the repository or from a local .deb file it doesn't let you chose which directory you want it installed. I'm curious is there a reason for this. What if the...

So does anyone know why there is no 32bit arch included with Ubuntu. Are there version of Ubuntu that do have it?
