Copy the packages to the other system. You can do that by CD/DVD, USB Flash key, Floppy disk, or over the network. You don't say where those packages are on your system. If they are not beneath your user ID /home directory try looking in /var/cache/apt/archives (you'll need to be root). e.g.:- # cp /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb $somewhere (replace $somewhere with an actual file location) If you copied the files from /var/cache/apt/archives, to install them on the other computer copy them, as root, to /var/cache/apt/archives. You then have two options:- ;the painful method - use "dpkg -i" to install individual packages, examine the error messages, use dpkg to install missing packages, rinse and repeat until all dependencies for the original package are installed. ;the painless method - "apt-get install" to install individual packages, first you'll need to run "apt-get update". apt-get will not download a package from the internet if it already has a copy in /var/cache/apt/archives. NOTE: the above presumes you haven't previously run "apt-get clean" which deletes previously installed packages from /var/cache. You can also duplicate the packages installed on one machine - but that's a different process based on the same "copy *.deb from one /var/cache/apt/archives to another".
