[ubuntu-za] Ubuntu repositories

[Nashvin Gangaram]

Hi Rodemire

I use an offline repository as given here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Offline/Repository

You can use synaptic to generate a package download script, and download the
packages from an uncapped bandwidth location, but install them from your
offline repository...
