How can I take an apt module from an internet enabled Ubuntu and get it to a USB for a non internet install?

I am wanting the following which are available through apt. I am sure there will be more that I end up needing.

One way would be to...

  1. Goto Ubuntu packages or Launchpad;
  2. Find the package you need (gimp packages or gimp launchpad);
  3. Check if there are any dependencies that you do not have installed (gimp) ;
  4. Download the .DEB's you need from the launchpad page <-- this can be annoying as hell;
  5. Copy/paste these downloads to USB;
  6. Install them on the other server. You need to install these in the correct order: lowest dependency 1st <-- this can be annoying as hell too.

edit: I would suggest picking up the machine and carry it to an internet connection if you want wine

APT saves downloaded packages to the filesystem here:

/var/cache/apt/archives/

You may be able to save some time/bandwidth over downloading.

There are a number of options including a gui see the Ubuntu Documentation. The easiest option would probably be the Synaptic Download Script. Most of these options including Synaptic Download Script allow different operating systems to be used (Windows OSX and Linux).
