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.
