I feel so lucky that I found APTonCD. This tool allows us to backup all the downloaded packages into the CD or DVD. Of course, this tool is very useful when your computer is not connected to the Internet. This situation had always been my problem.
This tool is very graphical and that make it easier to use for a beginner Ubuntu user like me. hehe.. To use this tool, you may need an empty CD or DVD but not really neccesery because APTonCD can also backup your installed packages into an iso images. Go to http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/ and download the latest release of this tool if you want to have a try.

Installing APTonCD in Ubuntu 6.06 dapper
I discovered an error when I tried to install APTonCD for the first time in Ubuntu Dapper. Something like "Dependency is not satisfied : python support" appeared. And when I try to install from the terminal, I got this result
kevin@linuxbox:~/Desktop$ sudo dpkg -i aptoncd_0.1-1_all.deb --force-all
Selecting previously deselected package aptoncd.
(Reading database ... 74701 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking aptoncd (from aptoncd_0.1-1_all.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing --force-all (--install):
cannot access archive: No such file or directory
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of aptoncd:
aptoncd depends on python-support (>= 0.2); however:
Package python-support is not installed.
dpkg: error processing aptoncd (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:

aptoncd
If you faced the same error as mine, try installing the python-support_0.5.6_all.deb packages from here before reinstalling the APTonCD. It works fine for me, it should works for you too.
