1. copy packages to a folder directly in your /home diretory, eg. /home/frank/packages

2. open up synaptic, file–> add downloaded packages, navigate to the folder containing your packages.

with any luck, synaptic should then dialog box you, prompting to install packages. Note: it should say 0B needs to be downlaoded, since you already have the packages.

if not, then click apply. that should work.

I’m in the same predicament you are. Check out apt-walkabout.
http://quozl.netrek.org/apt-walkabout/. The way I understood it is this tool manages a small filesystem seperate from / with package list and archive on a removable medium (like a thumbdrive or CD-R). On your Linux machine, you tell apt-walkabout to generate a list of files to download to update your apt cache and system, and then you take the medium to a place with better connectivity so you can download the files. Then you bring the medium back home and ‘adopt’ the changes into the root filesystem. My understanding might not be complete and/or even correct, but it seems like the tool will do what we need. I’m going to try it out tonight and see how well it works.

$ dpkg-scanpackages debs /dev/null | gzip > sharedebs/Packages.gz
Above command might need to be run to generate the Packages.gz for the downloaded packages. A more detailed procedure is here:
