you may also think about using apt-mirror, on a removable harddrive at
work, you can then move this disk back and forth, and allways have your
local mirror updated to the latest.
this way you can do your installs the debian way and you allways have
all the packages available.
and apt-mirror downloads debs using ftp/http so you shoudnt have
problems with your firewall/proxy
