Also, the computer can not be moved. > Many package management systems have an option to generate a list of URLs with files needed to update it / install packages... Debian stable (with its about 100000 DVD's / CDs) have all packages available on its CDs / DVDs, but downloading them is a mission https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Offline might help for your ubuntu issues... apt-get --print-uris should be able to do this... The exact place to copy / extract the files you should see on the page linked above / ask on the Ubuntu forums... My guess of the process: (You probably want to add the key and repository to your souces .list, run apt-get --print-uris update to get URLs for repositories, get it on the offline PC, eun apt-get --print-uris install wine to get URLs for packes and where to copy them and the actually install the packages (with apt-get install wine after the files have been copied to the right place..)) Tip: Ask you distribution for OS related questions... The Wine community runs several distributions and most of those are not the same as yours.. Gert
