[plug] Getting [entire] Ubuntu repository on CD/DVD?

[Ben Woods]

Sorry Dave,

I don't have the bandwidth to provide this one to you.

Definately someone who is at UWA should be able to do it - they have a local
mirror which could easily be burnt to dvds without using the internet there!

Failing that, take your laptop into the UCC one day (the room below the PLUG
meeting place) and go for it. Or do it on monday at the next workshop - the
speeds are extremely high!

Cheers,
Ben
