Hi,

You can install and use aptoncd from the Ubuntu Software Center

All packages are downloaded to /var/cache/apt/archives/

Aptoncd will scan these files and help you to make your own repository on a CD/DVD. It will create an iso file that you can use as such (to mount it directly, economizing the cost of burning one CD) or to burn a CD which can be added to your software sources.

It is quite easy to use.

Hope that helps.
