<br>
I don't have the bandwidth to provide this one to you.<br>
<br>
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! <br>
<br>
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!<br>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><font size=3

<br>
I have successfully installed Kubuntu on my laptop a few days ago. Having
done so, I used apt-get to install a bunch of other programs I wanted, which
subsequently downloaded and installed perfectly.<br>
<br>
However one issue is that in the process I used up about 500 megabytes of my
1gb monthly download quota - after which it will cost me $0.10 per megabyte to
continue downloading.<br>
<br>
I was wondering if there is some way I can get a copy of the ubuntu feisty
repositories on CD/DVD so that I could set apt.sources to point to the CD/DVD
drive instead of hitting the net for everything?<br>
<br>
I have been told - never underestimate the bandwidth of a box of magnetic tapes
in the post [or in this case - DVD's] 8-)<br>
<br>
I am willing to pay $ for a CD/DVD copy of the current feisty archive.<br>
<br>
I did look at linuxit but they only sell the actual install CD.<br>
<br>
thanks heaps guys<br>
<br>
David. 8-)<br>
