I do not believe there is going to be a easy way for you to do this , the standard repos contain over 40,000 packages (files) .
you say you do not have FULL access to Internet ? what do you have .
Where can I download an ISO image file with the repos 4 kubuntu 12.10
thanks 2 all...
This is actually really easy to do but it requires a little work and time. Essentially what you need to do is buy a cheap external hard drive (~80GB should be more than enough). Now rsync the repos from sources lists to the hard drive. Install Apache to the laptop and symlink the various repos to /var/www. Start Apache web-server and go into your sources and change them to localhost/<repo name>. Update your sources with sudo apt-get update and you can have all the offline fun you want. Then when you want to update your computer. Just reconnect to the internet rsync the repos from the hard drive to those on the server and update you computer offline again.
Essentially what I am trying to tell you is to essentially set-up your own repos by cloning other ones. If you want I can guide you through it. I've done this before for people with a terrible and expensive internet connection. I used to just take an updated hard drive along with me when visiting. I'd update their hard drive and all the computers on the home network updates from that hard drive using a local Apache install on the one computer.
