Description: Update a non-networked computer using apt and removable media 
 These scripts simplify the process of using dselect and apt on a non-networked
 Debian box, using removable media like ZIP floppies. One generates a `fetch'
 script (supporting backends such as wget and lftp, in a modular, extensible
 way) to be run on a host with better connectivity, check space constraints of
 your removable media, and then install the package on your Debian box.
 .
 Note on current version: space-checking is not done and spanning multiple disks
 is not yet supported.
