If you are using a different architecture (you have 64bit, but your friend has 32 bit) then add the following at the start of the mirror.list configuration file: set defaultarch i386 If you just want the main files, remove the restricted, universe and multiverse names from the configuration file.

deb files to be /tmp, make sure you have enough space so your hard drive does not fill up (if your hard drive does fill up and your computer freezes, /tmp should be cleared with a reboot). It is guesstimated that you will need around 15Gb of space for all 4 sections, without the source. # use a mirror so you don't overload the main server!!!ĭeb lucid main restricted universe multiverseĭeb lucid-updates main restricted universe multiverse # The default configuration options (uncomment and change to override) deb files from all 4 sections (main, restricted, universe and multiverse) as well as the latest bug fixes. Here is a simple example that copies the binary. Only include the repository sections you want. Or since Ubuntu 14.04 gksudo gedit /etc/apt/mirror.list

If you have a decent sized USB stick - assuming around 4-8Gb (or external hard drive) you can set up a custom copy of the Ubuntu repository and configure that as a local repository as covered in AptGet/Offline/Repository
