APT-ZIP is a package to use ["apt"] with removable media .

The apt-zip-list and apt-zip-inst commands simplify the upgrade process of a non-networked Debian host using apt(8) , by using (preferably high-capacity) removable media, like a ZIP drive.

apt-zip-list produces two files. One is a script that can be used on another host (maybe not running a Debian system) to fetch packages previously selected in dselect(8) or indicated in the command line, the other apt-zip.options saves the options used by apt-zip-list to indicates to apt-zip-inst what action to perform and/or which packages to install.

Config file

The /etc/apt/apt-zip.conf file can be used to set defaults: method, removable medium, options, apt-get action and accepted/rejected protocols. It is a self-explainatory bourne-shell script snippet. It allows to provide site defaults for command-line options.

cygwin

You can use ["cygwin"] in the computer where you haven't got installed Debian, to execute Apt-zip.
