Create a "SP3" patch CD for Ubuntu

After Ubuntu is installed, the first thing to do is to connect to the network and update the "Source" to upgrade the system. Otherwise, you can only use the word "depressed" to describe Ubuntu, listening to songs, watching movies, and so on cannot do anything. Two days ago, I rushed from the internet cafe under a Ubuntu-8.04-rc-desktop-i386.iso installed on the laptop, and then every day holding the book to a friend to update, watching the snail like the update speed, it is really anxious. Later, I saw the help of Ubuntu8.04 on offline

After Ubuntu is installed, the first thing to do is to connect to the network and update the "Source" to upgrade the system. Otherwise, you can only use the word "depressed" to describe Ubuntu, listening to songs, watching movies, and so on cannot do anything. Two days ago, I rushed from the internet cafe under a Ubuntu-8.04-rc-desktop-i386.iso installed on the laptop, and then every day holding the book to a friend to update, watching the snail like the update speed, it is really anxious. Later I saw an introduction to offline updates in Ubuntu 8.04, and decided to package the Ubuntu update Patch on a friend's machine into a cd (I called it "Ubuntu SP3" by myself "), this saves me the trouble of updating the internet.

Use APTonCD to create offline installation packages

Pack existing updates in Ubuntu. You need to use the APTonCD tool. First, in my friend's Ubuntu 8.04 system, click "system> System Management" in the menu, open "New Software Package Manager", click "Search", and enter "aptoncd ", find it, double-click it, and click the "application" button in the toolbar to install the software.

Click system> System Management> APTonCD to start APTonCD. Follow the prompts and click Create to display the commonly installed software packages and all Ubuntu system updates. You can select all or only some software and updates, and then click Burn to select the CD or DVD format as needed.

After setting, click the Apply button. APTonCD generates an ISO image file first. Finally, a prompt will pop up asking "Do you want to burn it now ?" (Burn now ). You can click "yes" to burn immediately, or click "no" to exit. Click "location → main folder", you can see the generated "aptoncd-2008xxx-CDI.iso" and other files.

Test APTonCD

Return to my laptop with the burned Ubuntu update CD. Also install APTonCD. After you start it, Select Restore (Restore) this time, and then click Load. You can choose whether to recover from the CD Device or the ISO image file directly. I naturally chose a CD device. After setting it, click "OK" and enter the administrator password as prompted. Then, I will select the software and system update items you want to recover, click Restore.

Note: After the restoration, the patch is copied to the/var/cache/apt/archives Directory, which will give priority to the directory for later updates.
