No! Please don't.

I believe apt-offline will do what you want:

If the "second pc" has no internet connection, then apt-offline will be
of help cause you won't have to download the full cd/dvd. And since
Squeeze is a moving target then you can keep it up to date with
apt-offline.

The "second pc" will need a *basic* Lenny install to start with -- maybe
the businesscard image will do?

P.S. I use apt-offline on a friends laptop which has no net connection
and it works well.
