The default directory of sources.list is /etc/apt
and when we call apt-get update system store package information in /var/lib/apt
and synaptic or package manager read information from there. suppose i have some packages already downloaded in hard disk. so if read package info (sources.list
) from desktop and add package information in another directory then i can use synaptic or apt to safely install packages and then restore again sources.list
directory.
Procedure will be like this :
- Have packages in desktop with sources.list information of packages directory (anywhere)
- change default directory to desktop
- synaptic or apt will read from desktop and save information in another place
- install packages
- restore back previous directory information
