Hi All, What I do.
I don't create the DVDs for myself, I run the first script, which puts the repositories on my hard drive, which I then copy onto an USB hard drive ( portable hard drive to some of you guys ), I then copy this onto my other PCs, then I add this line to my sources.list file deb file:/backups/ubuntu dapper main restricted multiverse universe This way means that you don't need any other DVDs ( other than the install CD ), everything will be on hard drive This setup is perfect for me, as I don't have internet access at home. This will work for ( I think ) all versions that Ubuntu supports, ie Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Edubuntu, Xubuntu, etc. Another thing is that you need ( for Dapper with the above repositories ) aprox 12Gig of hard drive space. For the guys who want to create the DVDs, then you need aprox 36 Gigs of space, as the scripts create first the repositories ( aprox 12 Gig ) then DVD sized directories ( aprox 12 Gigs ) then the ISOs ( also aprox 12 Gigs ) which adds up to aprox 36 Gigs. I only had 20 Gigs on my internal hard drive, so I changed the scripts to do the DVD sized directories and ISOs on my USB hard drive Hope this helps William >>> Oliver Grawert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 10/02/06 2:38 PM >>> hi, Am Montag, den 02.10.2006, 14:30 +0200 schrieb Edward Holcroft: > Is the same thing possible for Edubuntu?

(and before the question comes up, maintaining universe DVDs in the official archive is out of question) ciao oli -- edubuntu-devel mailing list edubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-devel
