The simplest new method for offline software(deb.s) installation under ubuntu

[Kyle Nitzsche]

Note: dpkg -i $pkg.deb does not install dependencies. That is: if the 
pkg you are installing depends on other packages that are not already 
installed, the dpkg -i command install fails. Whereas apt-get install 
<pkg> does install depends.
