I want to create an offline repository but I'm stumped in the sense I don't know how to easily get all the packages for Ubuntu's repo. On RHEL, I can easily download the Universal DVD which is like 10 GB and then mount and there you go I have an offline RHEL repository. For Ubuntu, they all require tools that assume you have connection to the internet like apt-mirror or dpkg (for scan packages). I just need the files, I know how to setup the repo. Any ideas?
See from here. Setting up a YUM repository can be done like so:
You can also use your installation CD as a source for repositories.
First, mount the cd, then copy the files into your FTP directory with the following:

How to do something similar in Ubuntu?
EDIT:
When looking at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Offline/Repository
It explains to download the Release, Release.gpg, Content_files-.gz; and then the Packages.bz2, Packages.gz, Release files from http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists but these files are hardly more than a few MBs. And then its silent on the actual 20+ GB repository. I'm stuck. None of the documentation makes sense. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH apt-medium??
