Thanks for all the great feedback guys.

To clarify: What I've done is cached the packages distributed with
ubuntu-restricted-extras, and those are installed individually, EXCEPT
for the two packages that go on to download other things (fonts and
flash) since those two aren't vital for people with no net access
anyway.

FYI, our main target area here is probably the poorer schools in
outlying areas where there's no net access (and in some cases they
rely entirely on solar power set up by donors), although there are
many others who would benefit as well.

Neil
