Need to install away server w/ Open Stack from broadband - but how?

Here is what I believe to be an unusual question.

I've always installed Ubuntu desktop (many versions and flavors) with a
decent internet connection, but now I find myself preparing for my
first-ever server (13.04) installation, in a place without broadband. I
therefore wish to prepare for installing everything from media, which I
would download before I wander off to the Boonies.

How can I download all the files I would need for a complete Open Stack
install, onto movable media, before I leave the blue blanket of my
broadband connection?

Once downloaded and a basic install performed, would I install additional
packages needed by apt after revising /etc/apt/sources.lst to point to
where the Big Pile o' Files be, or would I manually install each with dpkg,
or, on the Gripping Hand, do it in a way I do not yet recognize?

Thank you kindly.
