It's spread all over the place.  For root disk, look in
scripts/rootdisk/EXTRACT_LIST_* .

Look for 'grab_paths' or 'download' invokations in top-level *.sh to
see what it's doing.  There is no central list nor will there ever be
one.  Period.

If you have a slow link, it can be rough.  Buy a CD and replace the
apt-get sources.list file with something pointing to the CD.
