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

[David Buddrige]

Hi Timothy,

Do you have the i386 or i686 versions on your mirror?  I can pick up a
hard-drive easily enough.  That'd be great if you're able.  I can wander
past Saturday Morning if that's convenient.  Can you email me off-list
with contact details?

thanks heaps mate,

David.
