[NCLUG] Fragile flies with broken wings

[dmiles]

yeah, I pretty much did the same but it would be really nice to have a way of
getting the woody stuff on a CD 'cause otherwise we're really going to kill the
Apt servers in this install fest.

Is there a program I can run (like dselect maybe) that would simply download the .deb
files and allow me to build a disc image out of them?
