Is it possible to upgrade a box not connected to the Internet?
This is what the apt-zip package is for.
2 simple queries:
1. ZIP drives are a thing of the past. Presumably apt-zip works equally
well with usb memory-sticks; and
From the package description:
Description: Update a non-networked computer using apt and removable media
These scripts simplify the process of using dselect and apt on a
non-networked
Debian box, using removable media like ZIP floppies and USB keys. One
generates
a `fetch' script (supporting backends such as wget and lftp, in a modular,
extensible way) to be run on a host with better connectivity, check space
constraints of your removable media, and then install the package on your
Debian box.
2. My daughter - who has broadband access - uses a Mac. Can that be
used to download the packages identified by apt-zip?
To be honest, I've never actually used apt-zip, so I don't know.
