Install Kubuntu 7.10 and other software w/o internet connection?

[LaBud]

I am planning on installing Kubuntu 7.10 in the near future.
I do have one ?
I know I can install Kubuntu without an internet connection, however, I would also Like to install other software that may not come with the CD I created from the download. In other words I would like to know if there is a way to use apt-get or the synaptic to install from a CD, DVD or another hard drive where I have other software.
I do have access to the internet, but at the moment it is not on the machine I will be installing Kubuntu on, and I cannot switch it over. Also, will it be hard to install internet connection after I finally do get online?
thank you

Take a look at the package 'apt-zip'. If you have a USB thumb drive it might just work for you.

you can use cdrom as a location there is also a dvd download of the distributions which include alot more stuff.

well I am a noob of course to scripting but asked a co-worker to review my script as I was kinda proud to have it working. I don't understand it but here is a script that does the same things but works much more efficiently

#!/bin/sh
extension="${1##*.}"
ORIGINAL_NAME=$1
shift
MOVED_NAME=$@.${extension}
mv "${ORIGINAL_NAME}" "${MOVED_NAME}"
