Server install of kvm and openstack without broadband

Asked by K7AAY

Here is an unusual question.

I've always installed Ubuntu desktop (many versions and flavors) with a decent internet connection, but now I find myself preparing for my first-ever server install (13.04 chosen for the need of Grizzly), in a place without broadband. I therefore wish to prepare for installing everything from media, which I would download before I wander off to the Boonies.

How can I download all the files I would need for a complete OpenStack install, on a single machine, before I leave the blue blanket of my broadband connection?

Once downloaded and a basic install performed, would I install additional packages needed by apt after revising /etc/apt/sources.lst to point to where the Big Pile o' Files be, or would I manually install each with dpkg, or, on the Gripping Hand, do it in a way I do not yet recognize?

Thank you kindly.
