Hello Lists, (see header)

I am using Kubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake) on my second
hdd and three applications, Konqueror, Konverstaion
and Kopete (yes, KDE - Kyonki haha) on my MTNL Triband
line, without specifying the DNS. The automatically
accepted DNS was the IP address of the ADSL Router /
Modem. 
(D-Link 502 T)

I wasn't able to get updates using apt-get because,
the command would fetch the first URL and become
stagnant with no network activity over the ethernet
LED. 

I finally, decided to add the DNS servers provided by
MTNL, and wow! apt-get could finally understand what
it is supposed to connect to and fetched updates. 

Phew! Why didn't the K affect the 'K'onsole. Some
other underlying protocol, perhaps?

BTW, I managed to install Firefox (1.5.0.11) and have
bookmarked two links on installing Firefox 2.0 on
*buntu. 

These updates consumes a lot of my bits, and that
brings me to a question!

Can I (if I get one) use the Kubuntu 6.06 DVD as a
source for installing common applications (such as say
GCC 3.x or 4.x, Java 1.4.x JRE 1.5.x etc?)

If yes, anyone in Mumbai with a Kubuntu 6.06 DVD?
