how to install updates and packages via DVD?
by claytoncramer from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4Y6MK)
I have been using the CNC variant of debian for a long time. The 2003 Compaq NC6000 finally gave up. I found a not quite so antique desktop with a parallel port (necessary for the CNC controller) but it has no wifi. Unsurprisingly, installing linuxCNC worked, but could not update anything. Furthermore, I would like to add various development tools such as ddd. There must be a way to download updates and packages to my PC that has Internet access, then apply those updates and packages to my debian box on a DVD. How?
