Thanks Soyuz Bhai :)

Yes we do want to have the repo, but there are also few points to be noted:

1) when it is heard to get the original Ubuntu repo it will be tougher to
get customized repo.
2) even if we manage to build 5-6 dvd repo will it be convenient or feasible
to go with the project? ( I mean going with one or two dvd is ok, but will
people buy/get all 5-6 DvDs unless they are really interested?)

Hopefully those two question won't hold us back.


Yes sponsor is really important in terms of logistic or funding.. anyway we
see it its really required..
