Would that work ?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09467754300531004153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-23750937655236440932012-06-06T05:13:34.916-05:002012-06-06T05:13:34.916-05:00You can get Ubuntu Apps Offline installer (but not...You can get Ubuntu Apps Offline installer (but not all) in www.delavega.blogspot.com<br /><br />Just download and enjoy!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16820778428082619698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-20796023083270468552012-05-23T12:30:17.775-05:002012-05-23T12:30:17.775-05:00Thanks for sharing,yours is the best explanation I...Thanks for sharing,yours is the best explanation I've found.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-68665673454071929882011-10-28T21:57:30.598-05:002011-10-28T21:57:30.598-05:00Jeff, I really really appreciate your instructions...Jeff, I really really appreciate your instructions. I've used it countless times. It's the only reliable instructions I've found online for this task of offline Ubuntu. My one question is how do you install Medibuntu files using the same system that you discussed? I googled hopelessly but couldn't find it. If you don't have the time, don't worry about it!

When you move the Release and unzipped Package files to a new name, you have to prepend "us." to "archive.ubuntu.com", and I guess for another country it would have to be modified. I guessed this since some of the already existent files in /var/lib/apt/lists were listed as "us.archive.ubuntu.com...."<br />I hope that helps someone.

I will try it on my ubuntu boxes.<br /><br />The funny thing is that just moments ago I was reading the apt-on-cd docs to figure out how I can ensure that I download a package only once.<br /><br />Is there anything similar for "apt-get upgrade"? I.e. let's say I have two Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit systems, then I upgrade just one, but, I can "magically" copy and install all the upgraded packages from one system to the other without having to connect the other system to the net.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-183134797535494532010-06-14T09:45:47.339-05:002010-06-14T09:45:47.339-05:00who cares !who cares !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-36989466859132315262010-06-14T05:39:25.239-05:002010-06-14T05:39:25.239-05:00http://keryxproject.org/http://keryxproject.org/The Mango Seedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05885283757076751048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-1603823719709037012010-06-14T05:38:41.453-05:002010-06-14T05:38:41.453-05:00There is a much simpler way, the excellent Keryx p...There is a much simpler way, the excellent Keryx project. As far as I know, it automates pretty much the same process you outline above, but with a wxPython GUI that works on Windows or on Linux; this provides a synaptic-like interface to update, install, and upgrade packages. Basically you put Keryx in a folder on a USB stick, it reads your sources list and packages state, you take it to any computer with internet, run it, and tell it what you want. Magic! Oh, and it works for any deb-based system.The Mango Seedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05885283757076751048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-31836273454950621052010-06-14T04:49:35.409-05:002010-06-14T04:49:35.409-05:00Try aptoncd to create an apt ISO from a machine th...Try aptoncd to create an apt ISO from a machine that already has all the apps downloaded. also try apt-cacher-ng. allows you to create an apt proxy on a pc which other machines on the lan can download from. very usefull, can even cache packages from other versions of ubuntu.Cipherfusionisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04700112839252075945noreply@blogger.com
