I'm not aware of any CD containing the full set of packages from the
main repository (or anything equivalent to the Debian set of CDs), but
you might want an alternative setup:

Check out apt-zip. If you have access to a system with Internet
access, and you have a USB thumb drive (or iomega Zip Disk), you can
use that system to download the packages needed (and save it on your
removable media), transport to your own system, and install.

As an added bonus, since the debs are already on the disk, you can
install those debs on multiple systems.

Apt-zip itself is a small package, so if your non-internet-enabled
Ubuntu box doesn't have it, you can download the deb package and save
it on a floppy then install it on your box.
