There a package called APT on CD <http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/>. Its available in the repository in Ubuntu.
yes I think I had overlooked it some time back. thanks rohit for that information.
From Synaptic's description: CD-based repository creator for packages downloaded via APT Tool for the creation of a CD-based repository containing all packages
is there a single command to create the cd with this aptoncd tool? and from where does it get the packages to create the repository? or do I need to tell him what packages I want on the cd so that the tool downloads it once for all? or is it going to take the list of available packages on my machine from the /var/cache/deb/archives folder which roni was mentioning?
After you've created the CD, you will be able to add it as a repository, as if it were an Ubuntu 'CD 2'. To run it, type "aptoncd" in a terminal.
so sudo aptoncd will create the cd containing the packages, is that right? I believe the command to add cd to the repositories is apt-cdrom add, correct me if I am wrong. and thanks again rohit for that information. regards, Krishnakant. -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
