OpenSource For You

Provide an Ubuntu software repository DVD

-

ED: Thanks a lot for the great feedback. Well, your idea is good but it is not feasible for us to include the repository of 50-60 GB software on a single DVD that comes bundled with the magazine. I suggest that you search the Net and find out which companies can provide you the entire repository you desire. Last month, I saw OSFY on a newsstand and I instantly bought it. And now I am a proud subscriber to your magazine. I am really delighted with it since the contents are immensely useful to me.

I have a request. I am a new user of Linux, migrating from Windows. Currently, I use Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I want to install the extra software packages from the Ubuntu software repository. But I have no Internet connection.

So, could I request you to provide me an Ubuntu software repository DVD along with a tutorial on how to install it without any network connection.

I will be highly obliged if you could help me. Thanking you in anticipati­on,
