well you cant really download the *.iso file from synaptic..you will
need to download it from the ubuntu website or from bittorrent

from personal experience, i do not recommend reloading ubuntu straight
from the repository..something usually happens where either the servers
kick you off or the install breaks or something and it screws up the
entire thing. IMHO if you really have to, its best to reload just using
the CD
