Give a presentation? Use a LiveCD!

[ Thanks to Edmundo for this link. ]

"Start the LiveCD, wait for it to finish starting. Then, add the stable repositories of bzr and qbzr in sources.list (that's because the normal repos of ubuntu intrepid have very dated packages.. at least of qbzr). So far, so good. Now, the normal procedure to install bzr/qbzr:

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install bzr qbzr

"By now, you have both packages installed in your LiveCD session.... but you want to be able to install them later on (like, at the company without an internet connection, right?). So, what can you do? Well.... let me tell you a little secret: If you didn't clean after you installed the packages, you can grab all those beautiful .deb packages (bzr, qbzr and their dependencies) from this location: /var/cache/apt/archives/"
