Preparing packages for offline install
Hello everyone.
I'm planning to move to Trisquel GNU/Linux, but I need to have gcc, g++, gdb and make available for installation offline since Trisquel doesn't have them preinstalled.
I'm thinking running `apt-get -d install` will do, but AFAIK it doesn't download dependencies.
What's the best way to manage that?
Thanks in advance.
Look at apt-mirror. Run it periodically to keep yourself updated.
But: You're talking to us here. On the forums. Using the internet. So, clearly, you have internet access to "just" do sudo apt install gcc and whatnot to begin with...???

I want to prepare packages for offline installation, so I can install them on offline computers in the future.
The documentation also has the following suggestions:
- Cloning a customized system
