apt & cdrom repository

[John Knops <jknops@australiaonline.net.au>]

Hi,
I want to download various debs to my home directory to be burnt latter
to a cd for use on an older computer which will not be connected to the
internet. At the moment I'm downloading all debs, including dependencies
manually one at a time. To speed up the process I've tried to use
¨apt-get -d -o dir::cache= ~/Tmp/deb install ¨ without any luck.
I'm obviously using the wrong options but can't think of any others to 
try.Can someone tell me what I should be doing.

I'm running ubuntu on my box, is this the root of the problem.
Thanks,
 JohnK.
