Use apt-move to do that. It is quite easy to use (and the
version in woody is so much better than the version in potato)
and it will construct a small, local Debian mirror from the
contents of the debian packages that you have already fetched.
Just update your system, slap a boot floppies directory there,
burn that onto a CD-R and bingo: you have a brand spanking new
snapshot of woody in your own hands.
Quite easy and I've done myself this a lot of times (and also
with a lot of goodies like adding a Ximian Gnome and KDE tree
to a potato CD that I made to some friends).
There is no mistery in that.
Hope this helps, Roger...
