How can I install software or packages without internet (offline)?
Is it possible to install softwares from backups of some else's /var/cache/apt/archives ? It will be a grt discovery fr me if it could be possible. I have tried installing Gstreamer downloaded on Ubuntu 12 on Ubuntu 11 but it could not work.
What i did is I copied the archive dir which have the .deb files to my friends computer and tried to replace his archive dir with that. When I hit the install button (on Ubuntu Software Center) it started to downloading directly from net.
Can Gdebi package installer do that ? is there any other alternative to do this ?
