How to install packages offline?

August 21, 2022 by Magenaut

What’s the best way to download a python package and it’s dependencies from pypi for offline installation on another machine? Is there any easy way to do this with pip or easy_install? I’m trying to install the requests library on a FreeBSD box that is not connected to the internet.

How can I use DD to migrate data from an old drive to a new drive?

August 10, 2022 by Magenaut

I am upgrading the internal SATA hard drive on my laptop from a 40G drive to a 160G drive. I have a Linux/Ubuntu desktop which has a SATA card. I would actually like to do the same thing for a couple CentOS & FreeBSD boxes at work, and it seems this would have the same solution.
