Hello,

If you selected the option 'Create an Meta-Package' while created the APTonCD media, should gave you an meta-package called 'aptoncd-metapackage' on the media, this package contains all packages in the media as dependency. So, you just need to add the media as APT source (by selecting Add CD/DVD, in the APTonCD Restore tab), then install the 'aptoncd-metapackage', this will show you what packages will be installed.

The meta-package is experimental, and if has conflicted packages in the media, this shouldn't work properly.

Thank you,
Regards.

This is a good answer but not full answer so before "This Solved my Problem" I want to say some more Aptoncd made 2 cd of downloaded packages in my case when I restored both cd on new machine (No fast internet connection there) they added in cache but not installed so there were two way 1 burn 2cd and add them in repository with add cdrom or not burn image but mount them and add them as repository for fast installing or optional installing. I choose second one
sudo -s
password
root@parasharas:/home/swr# mount -o loop /media/hda6/linux/aptoncd-20070131-CD1.iso /media/cdrom
root@parasharas:/home/swr# sudo apt-cdrom -m -d=/media/cdrom0 add
and Repeat this process for the rest of the CDs in your set.

now added line also in /etc/fstab for auto mounting iso images
/media/hda6/linux/aptoncd-20070131-CD1.iso /media/cdrom iso9660 ro,loop,auto 0 0
and lastly
apt-get update
now with synaptic all uninstall package which are showing installed easyly and in this process other ubuntu dvd iso image without burning added sucessfully
