How to create an Ubuntu updates CD/DVD


Here’s what you need to do:
1. Before you let the computer update, start Synaptic Package Manager and enable full package caching. Click Settings > Preferences, click the Files tab, and ensure "Leave all downloaded packages in the cache" is selected. Then close Synaptic and allow Update Manager to update the system as usual (you’ll find Update Manager on the System > Administration menu if you want to force an update; hit the Check button when Update Manager starts to refresh the package lists).

2. Once the updates have downloaded and installed, select CD/DVD Creator from the Applications menu and then open another Nautilus window (Places > Home Folder). Using that window click on "file system" on the left then browse to /var/cache/apt/archives/.

You can copy or drag all the files ending in .deb to the CD/DVD Burner window. Then click the Burn to Disc button. Insert either a CD or DVD-R/RW disc, depending on the total file size of the packages.

3. On the computer that is to be updated make a folder on your desktop and call it "packages", copy all the updates from the freshly burned CD/DVD disc to the empty folder and then type the following (this assumes the packages have been copied to the folder called packages on the desktop).
in a terminal type the following:

sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/packages/*.deb

Once the command has completed (it will take some time and you will see a lot of output scroll past; this is harmless), you can now delete the folder containing the packages.

if you don't have internet access, or you don't know what to download you can can get the updates from this links. This is only for "Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.4".
This updates were created after a fresh installed of Ubuntu 8.4, this pc never sleeps and as soon as it updates I will add more as they come through.
They are .deb packages inside a zip folder so you will have to unzip them before you can use them.
update 1
update 2
update 3
update 4
note: keep in mind that Ubuntu updates very often so the list could get long.
