Yes, exactly what Steve said. I certainly did not mean to imply that you
must use a public mirror; it's entirely possible and reasonable to use a
private mirror for installations - it just needs to be a little more
than a mounted DVD image. For example, something like the following
debmirror invocation is sufficient (based on what I use myself):
debmirror /mirror/ubuntu --host gb.archive.ubuntu.com --method http \
--root /ubuntu/
--dist=intrepid,intrepid-security,intrepid-updates,intrepid-proposed \
--section
main,main/debian-installer,restricted,restricted/debian-installer \
--arch=amd64,i386 --ignore=main/installer-
If you're reloading machines several times a month, it will be in your
interest to have them picking up updates from a single local mirror
rather than over the Internet anyway! (I'm assuming that you want to
test against 8.10 plus updates as well as, or perhaps instead of, merely
8.10. Most software vendors do, since 8.10 plus updates is what real
users use.)
