Well, I have limited connection time to the net and so I kinda
found a way to just "queue" the packages I want to download later
when going online. I pass the package name to aptitude install and
when aptitude asks me to confirm, I press Ctrl-C. Now next time when
I go online, I just run aptitude -f install and it is ready to install
anything I previously queued in to it. I would like to do this
automatically when I go online. I guess what you suggest would
work in this case too. Now, just have to figure out what to be put
in the script. I'm not good at scripting.

Deboo
