Yep, I missed these, had my cup of coffee.

Burn as data file, not iso or image. Do not include 'folder/Repo' 
(correct word should be 'directory', sorry, not 'folder'), just all the 
things in the directory 'Repo', make sure 'Package.gz' is there.

AFTER you have reinstalled, at the NEW installation, (if it is at new or 
different computer, then, yes, at new computer), type in
sudo apt-cdrom add

It will ask/prompt you to name the cd-rom, name it say, 'Repo-Jaunty' as 
you made it from Jaunty archives. Good to marker-pen cdrom same name.
