dvd/cd repositories


I notice that Debian comes on 14 cds or 3~4 dvds. You get a minimal
install by default like Ubuntu. Afterwards, if you want to install
more software, synaptic or apt will say insert disk number such and
such. My friend has 28 k dial up with Ubuntu on his laptop. What I'd
like to do is create those dvds or cds for him that are fully loaded
with extra software including multiverse repositories. I don't mind
spending a couple of days downloading it all for him. I have 640 gb of
total hard drive space but not all unused and a FIOS connection that I
can use for downloading all the deb packages. How can I create those
extra disks for him, so that when he wants to install software, he
will be told to insert disk such and such?

Create the repository setup and index lists
burn the whole deal to a CD/DVD
then use apt-cdrom add

might work..
