I didn't have the 'not going at all to the internet' premise but I didn't want to waste so many bandwith building the isos thanks to live-build. Long back I used to apt-mirror the full Debian repos but nowadays it's too much for my hard disks. So I use approx for it. It only caches the packages that you actually download. I have not tested apt-offline myself so I cannot comment on it. According to other repliers say it might be more suitable for your needs. adrian15 -- Support free software. Donate to Super Grub Disk.
