Hi all!
I'm about to install Kubuntu 11.10 on a couple of machines (A & B) that have slow internet connection (I've downloaded the CD image at another place (C) with a faster connection). My question is whether there is a way to download proper updates for A & B at location C and then burn them to a CD and apply them to A & B.
Thanks!
