You dont have to fool the system / write it to a CD - to install the packages. Extract the contents to a folder and do the following : $cd <path to folder> $sudo dpkg -i *.deb This will install all the packages in the folder, or you can customize by modifying the '*.deb' to the package name > but if i am able to mount the cd as nero would mount on windows then i won't need to burn cds again and again.. You can back up every downloaded deb file from /var/cache/apt/archives and copy to another folder instead of using aptoncd. PS: I actually didn't understand your problem, hope this would help you.
