Use apt-move to create the requisite directory structure for debian.
Edit the /etc/apt-move.conf
#APTSITES="debian.midco.net non-us.debian.org" <-- This is the default.
APTSITES="ftp.debian.org" <-- CHange it to this + whatever you
have in /etc/apt/sources.list
like non-US, etc
# The architectures that your site contain, separated with spaces.
#ARCHS="alpha arm hurd-i386 i386 m68k powerpc sparc"
ARCHS="i386" <- I have only i386
# The absolute path to your debian directory (top of your local mirror).
# This MUST appear as the first entry of your sources.list if you use
# sync or mirror.
#LOCALDIR=/mirrors/debian
LOCALDIR=/mnt/debian <-- Where you want the packages to go
# The distribution you want to mirror (see the apt-move(8) manpage for
# details)
#DIST=potato
DIST=woody <-- Mine is that
After that you just have to make an iso image of the directory
under /mnt/debian. Then you can burn the cd and use it to install on
other machines.
