I am new to Linux and Debian. I've just installed Debian from CD. I
would like to install some software on my new Linux computer. (For
example, I would like to install OpenOffice.) However, I can't
run "apt-get install", because I don't have an internet
connection to my Linux computer yet. I've got access to a high-speed
internet connection on a Windows computer.
What is the easiest way to install software on Debian in this
situation? I have figured out how to get apt to install software from a
CD, but I'm not sure how I resolve all the dependency issues. Is there
a way that I can run apt-get from my Windows computer to download all
the depencies I need? Then I could burn the packages to CD and transfer
them to my Debian computer. Or is there another way to get all the
dependencies for a particular peice of software that I want to install?
Thanks for the help.
