Offline SecurityOnion

I have a VM built with SecurityOnion  14 running Apt-Cacher-NG which was able to download all the updates for this version and cache thing for other boxes. 

I will be running a bunch of offline SecurityOnion (currently using an older version 14) which I would like to try and keep updated (at the 14 level) as much as possible, but I cannot use sudo soup to download any updates from the internet. 

I have done this before but I didn't take any notes on how it was done (except the first part which was to use apt-cacher-ng).  Now I am on step two and not sure what to do. 

I was hoping there was an easy way to burn the cached file to a DVD and then load them on the stand-alone, but I cannot find any information that would help (doesn't help that I am not an expert on things, I usually only look up stuff when I am trying to solve an issue), I get by mostly though.  My friend Google is pretty helpful, guess I am not searching for the right words in this one. 

I can't use the apt-cacher-ng as a proxy server either.  This will be just one machine that gets updated, no other machines will be touching that one.   

If anyone has any idea's to let me know.  Like I said I am currently at the stage of using apt-cacher-ng.  Now trying to figure out how to export the information to use on another machine.
