There were too many replies to this thread for me to read so I didn't
read them all, but I reply anyway:
When you install something with Synaptic, on a computer that has an
Internet connection, you can choose to only download the packages, not
installing them. I haven't tried this myself, but I guess you could do
that and then burn them on a CD or DVD and install them from there.
There will be some extra work, but maybe if you write a bash script to
do the work for you and include that script on the CD/DVD, then you
only need to run that script on every computer after installing Ubuntu
on them.
