Ya that is the case I too found it to be difficult.I am trying to build an application which could identify all the file types.Also a library with all possible installation commands from which it can choose the appropriate one. This is because if we download that package in one system we could be able to install using it in other system which has no net access.Also it would be easier for the common people who are not aware of terminal commands. Yeah ofcourse we have ubuntu software centre and synaptic package manager for easy software installation.But internet is needed in both the cases. I mean like sharing the downloaded package among friends and to install them easily just by a single click in a system which has no internet access. I have one machine A without internet connection. To be able to install any package from the archive, I use apt-mirror to get an complete archive mirror on machine B that has internet connection. Then I carry the directory on a 2.5 hard drive to machine A. machine A is configured (/etc/apt/sources.list) to get the archive from the local directory instead from the internet. Ya but I mean sharing through pen drives or cd to other system which is located at some other place.Also do you have any of how to add some more features on it? -- Benjamin Drung Ubuntu Developer (www.ubuntu.com) | Debian Maintainer (www.debian.org) -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
