New install using old packages?

[Teague Hall]

Hi I would like to do a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10 on my Ubuntu 10.04 machine. Living in South Africa where we pay per MB, the 700MB live cd will use my data cap up for the month. I have a few other applications/programs installed (like vlc, skype, remastersys...) that are not part of the normal distribution. Is there a way whereby I can extract these applications to install again without having to download them of the internet? Also to get my added repositries, codecs,
Thanks for any advice

Yes you can save those packages simply using APTonCD.

Or copy them from /var/cache/apt/archives to a safe location and put them in the same folder on your new install.
