That step is necessary for bootstrapping the process, indeed, and it's very nice explained. Thanks! You might want to use apt-zip or apt-medium *after you transferred the Packages.gz files*.

You do 'apt-get update' *only* for online repositories that change periodically because of new packages added/upgraded/etc. You don't do 'apt-get update' on a CD repository because they never change. You just add new CDs to the sources.list to make the CD contents accessible. Check this HOWTO for example: http://beans.seartipy.com/2006/05/06/update-or-install-applications-on-debianubuntu-without-an-internet-connection/ Instruction #1 is `apt-get -qq --print-uris install pkg` What's wrong with it? If you don't have an updated pkg list (/var/lib/apt/lists/*) all you'll get are the files that are on the install cd -- nothing more. Try doing an `apt-cache search fluxbox` on a freshly installed debian/ubuntu with no internet and you'll get nothing, because the pkg fluxbox is not yet listed on its pkg lists. Pkg lists are updated with `apt-get update`. But you can't do that without an internet connection. Just try it. Thus, this howto :) Nope.
