I recently downloaded UBUNTU 7.04 DVD and installed it on my lappy.
Previously I had used Red Hat and Suse Linux ( 5cd pack) which installed all the packages included in the cds.
But this UBUNTU dvd installed only the base OS which we can install using a UBUNTU cd.
What about the other packages given in the DVD . How to install them?
When i am trying to install the packages using package manager it is downloading them from internet not using the DVD.
What is exactlly given in the DVD ?

Yogesh,
As far as I know, you can’t download the DVD version, only the CD version of Ubuntu. This CD just contains a well equipped base version.
All other packages are to be downloaded from the repositories on the Internet.
You can use synaptic (Menu System ->Administration->Synaptic) or Menu Applications->Add/Remove.
Of course you need an Internet connection to make that work.
You can only buy the DVD (containing a copy of the major repositories), not download it. See http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/purchase

Insert the dvd
Go to Add/Remove programs
Click on preferences
Click on the Third Party Software tab
Click on add cd-rom

Be warned that not all packages from the Ubuntu repository are on the dvd, only the very basic ones.
