As long as you duplicate the dir structure on the original site, you can use
dselect/apt-get. If not, you can crank up the boot floppy, use dselect to spit 
out a list of packages and then have dpkg install everything in that list.
You will have to refer to the documentation, though, for some of this.

Och, I understand, Mr. Burns, I don't hae un neither. ;)
