Other Help Topics :: How do i install software offline?

I want to download additional software, burn it to cd and install it on another computer. How do i do that? How do i find out if all dependencies are met?

If it's a binary, ldd it. If it's source, google it. It's really like that. Of course some mean developers don't state anywhere on the net what their program needs, but usually in some forum or maybe Debian source package search will show you...

I now have Debian woody cds, so if i get apt i can install stuff. Question is: Where do i download apt for dsl (again, for offline installation)

Found dpkg in the extensions, but instead of a binary download it gives me unreadable text.

Managed to get apt, but it is unwilling to install anything with dependencies, even if the dependencies definitely are on the cds.
