Dear Kubuntu Team,

I would like to apply KDE on my Kubuntu because the current one blew up. But each time I to sudo get-apt it seems to be fetching from the cloud. Is there a way I can make it to read from my local Kubuntu CD? I have both Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Kubuntu Live CDs.

I believe the local disk read should be faster to translate than to bite the bytes across thousands of miles over the wire right?

I don't know where you find those options in KDE, but in Gnome you can select the sources via "System -> Administration -> Software Sources". And you can also open the same dialog via "Settings -> Repositories" in Synaptic. After you selected the CD instead of the internet sources you have to update apt.
