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.

I want to prepare packages for offline installation, so I can install them on offline computers in the future.
