Download apps for Xandros


I want to download apps, such as K3B, Juk, Kino, etc., for Xandros.
My Xandros PC is not connected to the Internet and this is NOT an option. I want to download these aplications for Xandros on a different computer, put them on my jumpdrive and install them on the Xandros PC. Not al these apps are available in the *.deb format, Xandros supports both *.deb's and *.RPM's, but I don't know what kinf of RPM's. Does anybody know of a site or something on where to get the packages, prebuilt(by prebuilt, i mean with the everything included, no other files needed)?

I don't know of any specific site. The best way I know of
is to grab *.deb files from the (unsupported) debian site,

http://www.debian.org

The other way is to phyically move your PC to a friend's
house, who has fast connection, and download everything
you want via XN.

p.s. Make sure you have gcc if you download *.tar.gz and
zip files that needs to be executed. Xandros really ought to
include gcc in their main package. I've seen too many others
have problems here.
