My friend also has base Ubuntu installed, but does not have a net connection. So how do I share my wares with him? Sharing in Windows is quite easy. You can just burn the install/setup files and give it to the person. Is there any similar way? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For most of the programs u can always download the .deb files and burn them for your friends, You should list down the dependencies of the program from synaptic... and include those deb files too. You will find all the deb files in repositories... from your sources.list. But remember!!! This will be very confusing for applications with large dependencies.. e.g. KDE. In this case it will be advisible to get Kubuntu CD and apt-cdrom it. or else you can make ur local repositories... follow http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=42862 transfer the repositories to cd then to friend and then he can apt-get it...
