[ubuntu-in] How to customize an Ubuntu version

[Kesavan Subburam]

You would need a computer that's connected to the Internet to download the
packages though.

Try

apt-get download PACKAGE && apt-cache depends -i PACKAGE | awk '/Depends:/
{print $2}' | xargs apt-get download

Where PACKAGE is your package of interest.
