Linux "With thousands of packages to maintain, most important part of any distribution is indeed its package management system. PiSi is the package manager of Pardus, written from scratch in Python. By writing another package manager, our purpose was not to reinvent the wheel but to create a new kind of wheel that takes distinctive ideas from existing ones with also easy integration and maintanence in mind."

Can I install packages offline?

Is it necessary to be online to install applications? In other words, can I just copy a package onto my USB flash key and install it on my friend's computer that doesn't have connecivity with the Internet? Doesn't include dependencies? Or do I have to carry all dependencies on my USB flash drive as well?
