how to upgrade a debian system not connected to network



I have a two debian/unstable systems (let us name them PC-A and PC-B). Both have got different packages installed. PC-A is connected to internet with 2 MBps link and so there is no problem in upgrading it regularly.

PC-B is not connected to internet. So I whenever I need to upgrade the system I download the 5 CD's of sid form ftp://ftp.fsn.hu/pub/CDROM-Images/debian-unofficial/sid/ ,
burn then in RW-CDs and then upgrade the system.

I want to know is there any method by which I can download the packages requiring upgrade for the PC-B in PC-A (remember PC-A and PC-B have different list of installed packages!)?

If I can do that, I can copy the .deb files to /var/cache/apt/archives of PC-B via a portable usb-dsik and execute apt-get upgrade.

Any help will be appriciated.
Thanks
JSS
