Because configuring GRUB 2 is new to me, I found a couple of tutorials that I saved as HTML files. This version of Debian does not have a web browser, as far as I can tell. It has no X-Windows, and I want to keep it that way, so I would like a text-based browser. I have no plans to connect Debian to any network. Do any of you know of a way or a program or something that would allow me to download the packages for a browser (or any package, really) and its dependencies, so that I could then transfer them via a thumb drive to the Debian installation and then install them with dpkg? I know I can look on-line to find dependencies and download them one-by-one, but if there's some way to do it all at once, just as if I used apt-get to download but not install a package, it would be easier. Please don't suggest another distro, unless it's very basic yet has man pages, editors, GRUB 2, and a text-based browser. I considered Arch, as it has a very basic, non-GUI installation to start, but it's bigger than what I want. I considered Bodhi, a stripped-down Ubuntu-based distro, but it's too big, too. All I want right now is an easy way to download a Debian package and it's dependencies for installation later, and it would be nice if I could segregate them from the rest of the downloading system so I would know what to copy. Thanks for any advice. -- Chick _______________________________________________ linux-user mailing list linux-user@egr.msu.edu http://mailman.egr.msu.edu/mailman/listinfo/linux-user </body>
