I've just attempted to do an fresh install using mini.iso and apt-cacher-ng and not succeeded in getting it to download locally rather than from distant servers.
Sorry - there must be a way of doing this and I'll keep looking

I've found this
http://www.howtoforge.com/local_debian_ubuntu_mirror
alas I'm on 512k and 6g limit so I dont want to try this at home - especially with 10.04 ubu coming out!! If you can set one up then you can use the mini.iso to start a system off, point it at your local repository and, it should be able to install a system an order of magnitude or more faster than a full cd rom on a decent network!
