I had what could be a great idea, I think....
I dual-boot OSX and Ubuntu (Debian based). Ubuntu doesn't have
wireless internet support right now, but that's all I've got. So,
essentially, I have no internet in Linux but need/want to install things
still.
I was wondering what I'd have to change to tell OSX's apt-get (from
Fink) to pretend it was a ppc-linux system, and fetch the .deb packages
for me, which I could then transfer to Ubuntu and install there?
I was about to just use Ubuntu's sources.list, but I'm assuming that apt
checks to make sure that packages are for the right architecture and
platform...That's probably the real question:
How do I make apt think it's a different platform.
Thanks!
Michael
