  yes, i'm sure there are, but also in the past i was able to
just copy the files to the right place on a hard drive or
partition and use that without using any other tool other 
than a straight copy.

  i would be surprised if that were not still the case.

  i copied the files from the DVD disks.

  i explained this in more detail years ago to you (here on
this forum) so you might be able to find those messages again 
via searching.

  i no longer have that set-up on my drives at all so i can't
tell you what i did, but it worked just fine and exactly
like you want.

  note, i no longer use Synaptic, whatever happened to it to 
turn it into wanting security or lacking thereof or whatever the
problems were just made me ditch it.  other tools work for
what i needed to get done so...
