1. Create media with all packages from an especific repository
2. Download all official Ubuntu repositories (main,restricted,universe and multiverse) into removable media (CD/DVD);

HOW do I do that?
I would like to make myself a local mirror of everything (or at least a big part of) what’s in the official repositories, but I can’t simply download a selected bunch of packages using apt-get because of the dependency resolving mechanism which freezes synaptic or gives an error saying about broken dependencies.

first thing make sure you have universe repositories are enable or not in /etc/apt/sources.list file and then try to run the following command

sudo apt-get -f install

Hope this helps

Adding a CD creates an entry for Synaptic (apt-get etc) so they will use the CD as a source.
When you want to add a program, the installation tools will now use the CD (or prompt for it if you don’t have it in the drive.

To stop Synaptic going and looking for a non-existant internet connection,
Open System>Administration>Synaptic Package manager. Then select Settings>Repositories and on the Installation Media tab, uncheck all entries except the CD (or DVD) disks. (You should see the CD you added already checked).

I have 10 servers and potentially 40 PCs to install. Can I sue this software as a source for the applications and updates? Even with 6.10 there is still 50MB+ of updates and I want to minimise the downloads. If this won’t cache the updates can you suggest an alternative? I use IPCOP based Endian Firewall with HTTP caching turned on. Will the requests for updates result in local downloads from the cache?

Hi, I am a newbie here. I managed to create the iso image from one PC and burn it to cd. I have installed aptoncd script on other PC, I wanted to use the cd as a repository. So I choose the third option (add CD/DVD), from this point I dont’t know what to do next. Appreciate if any body can help me.
