hello all, I am doing an installation of a few computers with orca (the screen reader) for blind people. it is at a very remote village where internet is not very strong. I have to do a apt-get install for gnome-common and also apt-get build-dep gnome-orca. both this commands connect to the internet and need to download the packages.
You could create a test machine in the city where net is good and save all the deb packages from your /var/cache/apt/archives into a CD. Then either add the CD to the system as a repo or paste all the packages into the target machine's archives folder. Apt-get will go to the net for record keeping but will find the package already downloaded. Feisty has an option to add cds as a repos as soon as they are auto detected. It then brings up the gui package manager. That should be the simpler way.
