This is a great utility and time saver for both broadband and dialup users or even for people/institutions without internet connection.
i always keep it and the backups it makes handy, saves me hours and hours of downloading.
I have 3 computers and i can't be dowloading the same updates on each one...
imagine people/business with 10, 20 or more computers.
It's a very small program, but big in usefulness
AptOnCD installed by default - best time saver

I have been looking into this and other extra repo CD methods for the KDE Mint.
what i have found is it is a gnome application so when you add it to KDE it has a lot of dependancy baggage.
this is not a problem for the KDE Mint version but where it would be most handy would be the miniKDE Mint.
It becomes a catch 22 situation for miniKDE, what do I remove to add it in.
OR
can I just add it to an extras/aptonCD CD and maybe add a script to the mintAssistant to install it off the CD. yes this sounds better.
Ok things for me to test/play with..

Now where was i going? Oh yes, crazy!
most of us who do use APTonCD use Gnome (i guess).Boo wrote:I have been looking into this and other extra repo CD methods for the KDE Mint.

The .deb package is 169.8 KB
http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/admin/aptoncd
if you need to make extra space, there's "sound joucer cd extractor" and the "sunbird calendar". Both are good addons, but i rarely ever touch them. I guess if anyone would need them, they would download it ?
Also there're probably a bit too many mint "old" wallpapers that look too much the same, so they're taking space also.
For those asking what APTonCD is:
best thing is i don't have to burn the isos it creates, i just carry them around in a mem stick o keep them in a HD partition, then restore from there.CD-based repository creator for packages downloaded via APT
Tool for the creation of a CD-based repository containing all packages downloaded via apt-get. Helpful for a post-installation on several machines or a simple backup method to re-install the system. After you've created the CD, you will be able to add it as a repository, as if it were an Ubuntu 'CD 2'. To run it, type "aptoncd" in a terminal. Or alternatively, via System -> Administration -> APTonCD menu entry.
