I have two machines running Ubuntu. One runs Edgy but is not connected to the internet. The other runs Dapper and has a fast connection. So to keep the Edgy one up to date I want to download the software on the Dapper machine and transfer it; but I want this to be as easy as possible so I want to use the apt system as much as I can. The following does not depend on the fact that the machine connected to the internet runs Dapper, though it was useful for figuring out some of the information that I needed. It should be simple to modify this process for another machine.
