I'm not familiar with "mi". Judging by a few google search results it
seems to be based on Ubuntu 8.04. The search results indicate that it
has Synaptic package manager installed. If you can get Synaptic running,
you can add the sources for a local mirror and then you'll be able to
install the Edubuntu packages from there.
