I am a fedora user and will try to make some changes to your method to get it working with Yum also. Will this approach work even if my friend happens to have different architecture than what I have ??? This information was very useful.

I was pleasantly surprised to actually see the "Generate Download Script" option in the Synaptic Package Manager similar to what was being discussed in the wiki pages. I was about to blog about it but restrained from it for two reasons: <ol> <li> this feature is so crucial for some people that it may tempt them to upgrade their Dapper machines to Edgy, without realising that Edgy is still a beta product.<br /> <li> the feature may still go through some changes before the final version is released. </ol> I hope to update this post with the latest at the earliest after october 26th. Yeah, I have been keeping track of it since the past few months as it is one of the developments that is of most importance to me. I was pleasantly surprised to actually see the “Generate Download Script” option in the Synaptic Package Manager similar to what was being discussed in the wiki pages. I was about to blog about it but restrained from it for two reasons:

  1. this feature is so crucial for some people that it may tempt them to upgrade their Dapper machines to Edgy, without realising that Edgy is still a beta product.
  2. the feature may still go through some changes before the final version is released.

I hope to update this post with the latest at the earliest after october 26th.

First choose repo you need and run: apt-get -qq ––print-uris update | awk -F\’ ‘{ print $2}’ > get.lst Then use wget -c -x -i get.lst, you'll get directories named something like security.ubuntu.com Now create local directory on your computer for example /root/localrep/ copy whole directories you downloaded in to this localrep directory. then you must edit sourceslist. change http:// into file:/root/localrep/ on all entries. backup your original sources.list first. After that you can apt-get update and follow instructions to generate new get.lst Now you have to replace 'file:/root/localrep/' to http:// in get.lst and wget those files and follow instruction to install them. Next time you need to update copy use original sources.list and start from beginning This isn't very elegant but it works. of course you could create scripts to make things little easier but I haven't bothered Here’s how I updated completely without internet.
