The number of default application in the Ubuntu installation is increasing day by day and the capacity of a CD still remains 700MB. gcc,g++,make etc development tools are wrapped around in a package named as 'build-essential' which is there in the CD. The compilers are installed but glibc, the C library is not installed which can be installed by putting in the CD, adding CD to repo, updating the index and then installing the "build-essential" package. The DVD Image contains only the main repo AFAIK, no the Universe. The packages in main are very less, most of the Open Source Softwares which one uses are in universe. > I did run across the idea of apt repositories on DVD, is anyone aware > of such .iso files for developer tools (8.04 compatible)?

If you want to create one, install aptoncd.
