How to backup the software i have downloaded using the add or remove programs of Ubuntu?

I have downloaded a few software for Ubuntu. but my friend doesn't have net connection. i want to give these software to her. how should i do that?

You can use APTonCD to make a CD/DVD with your downloaded applications on it and the applications can be installed from it.

http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/

I think it's in the Ubuntu repositories and you can install it through Add/Remove, Synaptic or the good old fashioned terminal way:

sudo apt-get install aptoncd

echo "type in arg1 install if you want to install. not choosen"
printf "Enter the distro name >"
read distroname



if [ "$1" == "install" ] ; then
echo "deb file:/home/debian/ $distroname contrib" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
cat /etc/apt/sources.list
exit
exit
exit 0
fi
