"This howto offers a simple way of creating DVD images of Debian or Ubuntu http/ftp repositories. Ubuntu doesn't offer DVDs ready to download with its main, universe, multiverse and/or restricted repositories. With the contents of this howto you can do it yourself. Having the Ubuntu or Debian repositories on DVD can be useful for those users who don't have access to the Internet where they have their Ubuntu installed but have access somewhere else to download the repository and build and burn the DVDs."

To make a bootable DVD... I just make a custom install with the mini-iso (8mb) networkinstall of ubuntu. Add all packages i need (download only) through apt. Install dvd-tools. And burn the /var/apt/cache dpkg´s to an dvd (uses up about 3gb) along with the mini-iso stuff. And volia. Its maybe not the correct way to do it. But it works for me, and it works very well.
