Scott, You're probably looking for /var/cache/apt/archives. I've never tried burning a CD from it and apt-getting, though. I would guess that you'd need to generate some meta-info first. You'd essentially be creating your own apt repository on a CD.
dpkg -i would also work, though I've only used it for single packages. --John Redefined Horizons wrote: > I've been using Debian for a few months now, but for the first time > I've got a Debian box hooked to an internet connection.
