Question about transfering DVD Package files to /var...

[alfred]

Hi All:

I got some DVD Files from www.thelinuxstore.org  for Ubuntu 9.04. Using
Eric's Find command, which I've now lost. :(  I emptied out all the
folders, and put all the Packages into one Folder, on the desktop. There
are now 26,939 .deb packages in one folder. I'd like these to be
in /var/cache/apt/archives/ just copying them using sudo cp
-rf /home/name/Desktop/deb-folder/* /var/cache/apt/archives, is too long
of a list. Is there a better way to do this? 

I'm using Gdebi to do the installs at the moment, which is a bit clunky
because on the desktop I have to manually search through the 26,939
items to find the Packages needed for the install. I figure if they were
in /var.... then I could use Synaptic to do the install. Synaptic tends
to favour going out on the web to find things and not reading things off
the DVD's.  With my snail speed Internet I get on good days about 3862
B/sec so just about all the files are to big to download them, as it
could take a year and a half to download all the files I need. :(.

Thank you in Advance.

PS if Eric could send me the two variations of that Find Command again,
that would be Very much appreciated!

Alfred!
