[LEFT]Hi all, [/LEFT] Read the wiki at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AptMoveHowto & installed the packages required.When I used the command :- [LEFT] [/LEFT]

[LEFT]sudo apt-get -d install sysv-rc-conf[/LEFT]
   

Q1. So should I just download first all the packages that I need first & then burn them onthe cd & then install them?

Q2. What does these commands mean :-


     [LEFT]cd /mirrors/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-i386

sudo dpkg-scanpackages ../../../../pool/ /dev/null > Packages[/LEFT]
 

any/all of the packages which I want they have some kind of backup or what. Can somebody explain this one?

Q4. The sudo dpkg-scanpackages have been given this ../../../pool/ what is this command? Although would be reading the man of spkg-scanpackages but sometimes somebody explaining is better. the packages do they get installed or some kind of backup or what?
