[ubuntu-in] installing all packages in one go

[Moz]

Hello All,

I recently installed Hardy 8.04.2 on four different machines and Xubuntu
8.04.1 on one machine. Luckily I have access to a broadband internet
connection and can download updates and packages on those machines, however,
two of the machines do not have access to broadband and I can never be able
to finish updates in time. There are other issues of electricity
availability and reliability of internet connection involved here.

1. How can I create a CD/DVD which will include all the packages I need. It
is a pretty standard set of packages.
Scribus, Inkscape, Gimp plugins, K3b, VLC, Mplayer, mencoder, ffmpeg,
xvidcap, Blender, Thunderbird, Skype, Epiphany, Opera, Acroread, certain
video editing packages, Vbox and so on.

I do not mind if the packages are not updated for a year or so.

2. Those two machines which do not have access to broadband internet, how
can I take updates to these machines from the ones that I update with
broadband connections?

Thanks in advance,

Moz
