Actually I have around 250 packages which I need to install and a lot of them are dependent on each other and the dependency tree is getting bigger and bigger.
I want to know is there any way like I can put those packages under one folder and Synaptic package manager may fetch them up automatically and install the dependecies likewise.

Thanks & Regards
