Does Ubuntu come with these?
Bryce,
(I'm not sure but it looks like maybe the files it downloaded went to
'/var/cache/apt/archives' – would this be correct? Would I just copy all the
files here to a CD?)
Yep, that is correct. Just copy all of that to your other
installation and let it do it's updates.

Hi again,
On my vmware install of Ubuntu I ran the ‘software

I was going to do the same thing myself, but with Google Maps (for any one
of a number of arbitrary reasons). You beat me to it, but that's fine. I
just took a look and it all works (for me, anyway).
