Is there a way to download software but not install it? I want to download the software on one computer that has internet access and install it on others that don't, but I don't want the software on the internet computer. I would like to be able to browse a repository like you can with the Package Manager, if possible. Any suggestions?

I have a USB which I want to use for a 'live' debian OS. I have debian 7.7 on hard disk and will be using Unetbootin to transfer the .iso file onto the USB.
However, when I go the debian archive there are so many iso files for the particular debian pkg [URL] .... There's iso, iso.contents, iso.log, iso.packages and iso.zsync. Do I download all of these iso files?
I'll be doing a Code: Select allsha256sums <iso-filename> to make sure the downloads aren't corrupted. But when I use Unetbootin and get it to write the main .iso file onto USB, do I then repeat this process with all the other iso files for the OS?
Here at home I have several Ubuntu installations, mine, the kids computers and a couple of laptops. What I'm looking for is a solution or a pointer in the right direction to setup on our local Ubuntu server a sort of cache. Each day each Ubuntu on the network, checks for updates and downloads, and installs. What I'm looking for is a way for one machine to download the update and then the others to download from the local resource.
A sort of local cache to try and minimise everyone downloading straight from the net for pretty much the same updates. I did a emerge cache many years ago when I was using Gentoo, so I'm wondering what I can use/do here with Ubuntu as we are all loving this distro now.
This is our first time choosing and installing linux. Our other servers are all windows 2008 x64. We were told to install fedora 13. I can only find a download for the desktop version and we're looking for the SERVER x64 download. Could I please get a link?

Fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10 with all the new upgrades.
When i type in: sudo apt-get install compiz-settings-manager, I get this response.

Then it returns to the basic command line, thing.
I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop Edition to install DSpace on my desktop. I had install all the JDK,MAVEN,ANT and Postgresql. After i install these prequisites, I start to install DSpace(dspace-1.6.1-release). When i reach mvn pacakge, it will start to download packages. After a few minutes, it will stop on here [as shown below]:
Downloading: [URL] [INFO] Unable to find resource 'org.apache.maven.doxia:doxia-module-xdoc:jar:1.0-alpha-11' in repository java.net [URL] Downloading: [URL]
why it will only stop on this step and can't proceed to download other package? What should I do so that the mvn package can download all the packages that it want?

View 1 Replies View RelatedHow to install Adobe Flash on my netbook. I recently installed openSUSE 11.4 which I am guessing is the newest one. I also am using Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta 12. I can't seem to install it at all. First I downloaded the YUM file and tried installing it with some weird program that came with openSUSE and it is just too difficult. I definitely do not know how to use it. Then I read I should be installing the tar.gz file and so I did. Even then people have different ways of installing it. The easiest way I have seen has been the way Adobe's website tells how to install it.
Installation instructions for tar.gz
1. Click the download link to begin installation. A dialog box will appear asking you where to save the file.
2. Save the .tar.gz file to your desktop and wait for the file to download completely.
3. Unpackage the file.
4. Copy the libflashplayer.so file to the plugins folder of your browser. Refer to your browser vendor for the location of this folder.
5. To verify the plug-in is installed in your Mozilla browser, launch Mozilla and choose Help > About Plug-ins from the browser menu.
Now my problem is that when it tells me to copy "Copy the libflashplayer.so file to the plugins folder of your browser" I cannot find the "plugins" folder in my mozilla/firefox folder. Now I'm actually wondering if it's because it a Beta version of Mozilla Firefox. I'm not very good with "coding" and "commands".

when I tried to download a installation DVD of F10 for my new thinkPad T500 laptop.The architecture of the processor should be i686 and I downloaded the DVD image Fedora-10-i386-DVD.iso. I understand i686 has backward compatability with i386. But i have following questoins:
(1) why we don't have an installation for i686?
(2) If I install the i386 package, do I get performance downgrades?
(3) Also, why the live DVD has this file called F10-i686-Live.iso?
(4) Finally, I always get message like "Warning: Cannot convert string "nil2" to type FontStruct

View 5 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Ubuntu 9.10 karmic using the .iso file from the official website (burned to a CD) but I have a problem... When I boot into Ubuntu, no drivers are listed for my wireless network (as a matter of fact none are listed when according to the hardware devices ). The thing is...
When I use the CD and select "try without changes to computer", Ubuntu detects my proprietary drivers (Broadcom 802.11g network adapter & Broadcom 440x10/100 integrated controller) and allows me to install it (and then restart).
So my question is, how can I install the proprietary driver to work on Ubuntu (perhaps saving the driver using the CD and allowing the settings to be saved on boot)?
P.S., I can only access internet from Vista & using the installation option 'try without changes to computer' from the CD.
I've decided to attempt a dual boot on my pc. My host OS is Windows 7 and I'm considering Ubuntu 10.10. I've never partitioned a hard drive before, Is v.10.10 a good choice or should I use an earlier version? I don't have an Ubuntu CD so I'm going to download it from the internet. Any recommendations on download sites? My processor is 64-bit. Should I download a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Ubuntu?

View 2 Replies View RelatedJust went to download 8.04.4 and to use the torrent. Guess what, the links on the page point to 8.04.3 torrent download which gets you a 404 error. To get by this, go into the address window of your browser and change each 8.04.3 to 8.04.4 and you will get the torrent.
Just thought I would pass this on if anyone was trying to get it via the torrent. If anyone is watching, maybe the links should be updated on the download pages.
