How to install APTonCD without Internet connection?

[yair999]

I want to use APTonCD to install all my progs from one PC connected to the Internet to a 2nd PC without Internet connection using APTonPC.
As I understand I need APTonPC to be installed on the 2nd PC so that it can "pull up" the progs saved on the 1st PC.
However when I try to install the APTonPC deb file using 'dpkg -i filename.deb' it says that the following dependencies are missing:

libgnomevfs2-0
yelp
nautilus-cd-burner
mkisofs
synaptic
python-gnome2
python-glade2
gksu
python-gtk2

How do I proceed?

Hmm - i think that the problem is this:

The APTonCD is Ubuntu (Gnome) program -> it depends Gnome programs.

How do I proceed?

Download and install those programs. Probably alternate Ubuntu install cd have all of those.

Or, you can install APTonCD on a Ubuntu or Debian box using the following file on any system (build in compatibility layer), by downloading the aptoncd_0.1-1_all.deb directly to your PC and installing it from there.

This is exactly the file I've installed which caused those missing dependencies messages.
At the end I had to install those missing progs manually one by one. I found them on the CD created by APTonCD on the 1st PC.

Thank you anyway.

Usually when I get those kind of dependency problems with a downloaded Deb file, I always go to Adept Manager and search for each one of those dependents and install them. Then I install the downloaded Deb. Has always worked for me!

That is the goodness of gdebi, it should take care of the dependencies for you.

That's one thing I noticed with Gutsy. I use to be able to right click on a DEB file and tell it to install from the context menu. It doesn't do that any more.

gebi doesn't have a context menu like kpackage had. You need to right click on the deb select Open with>Gdebi. Hopefully they will add a context menu, but the app works great.
