Hello Ian

Unfortionately I cannot help with burning, but I can tell you where to
look. The University of Pretoria has a COMPLETE
ubuntu/ubuntu/xubuntu/edubuntu etc repository. Complete as in all the
installation ISO's, and a complete software mirror archive. Not only for
the *buntu family, but for Debian, Fedora, Gentoo and several others. Go
check it out: ftp.up.ac.za
We have a Freedom Toaster (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_Toaster)
in the CS department's buildings as well.

You can try and contact someone at the CS department (cs.up.ac.za - i have
no clue who) and try arrange a day where you can come and get everything
you possibly want. If you have a notebook you want to install Kubuntu on,
bring it with and connect to the WiFi on campus, add the UP archive as a
repository, and you have unlimited free updates!

I have no idea who is in charge of the archives, so I cannot provide a
contact. Just try someone at the CS dept, they might be able to help.
Having local access to the UP ftp archive will prove REALLY useful to folks
with limited internet access. You can then afford to try out everything you
wish without having to spend all your precious limited cap.

Hope this helps?
