download ubuntu softwares manually
I only use my mobile phone as modem for my internet connection, I cant update my softwares for ubuntu 7.04, is there anyway I can download it manually? I can only download large files in my workplace.

Yes, you could download all the needed .deb files and install them with dpkg. It's the same apt does, but apt resolves dependencies, and automatically downloads all needed files for you; if you do it manually, you're the one who has to make sure all the dependencies are downloaded. You could probably (if apt just supports it) ask apt to do a "fake" upgrade process, meaning that it would show what should be downloaded but wouldn't then do it. Sort of gave you a list of things to be downloaded. Then you could use that list as your "guide" when downloading them manually (they're on the Ubuntu reposities anyway, though it's not quite as easy getting them without apt doing it for you).
When you've downloaded the packages (put them into the same dir for easiness), Code:
dpkg -i packagename.deb Code:
dpkg -i *.deb EDIT: you could probably also do Code:
dpkg -Ri /path/to/package/directory/ |
