Updates put onto CD?

[Amichai Rotman]

Hi,

>From the  apt-get help switch:

Usage: apt-get [options] command

.
.
.

  -d  Download only - do NOT install or unpack archives


after executing:

$ sudo apt-get -d upgrade

go to /var/cache/apt/archives/ and burn them to a CD-R.

On the target system:

$ sudo apt-get -o dir::cache=/media/cdrom

(if that's your cdrom device)

I havn't tried it myself- I got it all from executing:

$ apt-get --help

Good Luck!
