Making CD/DVD repository

**njmf** · December 23rd, 2005

Well, you might think this is an odd thing to do, but it would be rather helpfull if I could do something like this. What I am saying here is I that I have a task to install some packages and updates on someone else's Ubuntu machine, but proud owner of it doesn't have access to internet, so I must just burn all the packages to some DVD or CD, and bring them...
Is there some way I could burn those packages (well, I know, I could burn it with some burning software

) and to tell Synaptic menager to search that CD/DVD/whatever as it was repository (so I needn't to worry about dependancies and all that stuff myself).
Well, I haven't tried anything yet, but I will, and if I succeed, I'll report it here... Anyway, I will accept your advices, that's why I opened this topic after all.

Cheers!
