I'm not fully awake, so pardon any idiocy that happens to come from this reply. :0) ... Wouldn't it be as simple as downloading from a mirror to your HD the updates you wish to save on CD, burning them to CD, then modifying your 'apt-get' parameters to point to your CD-ROM drive as a source? I've never used 'apt-get', but if it's similar to 'yum', I would think that with your CD-ROM drive specified as source it would time-out on the others (when you are disconnected from the Web), but see the CD-ROM source and begin the update process. Well, it makes sense to me. :0) Paul
