Oops. 19 CD's. I do install Debian occassionally Yeah! I was thinking the contents of Debians mirrors. From wwwwhich Ubuntu is derived. You are quite right. You really can't install a working system 'even' with the Ubuntu CD. You need to connect to the Internet to make Ubuntu do what you want it to do. Which is: Surf. Play restricted DVD's.
