Help with locating a file (to download)

debian_base_system.tar.bz2 is what I am looking for.

Hello All;
I am trying to learn Linux and have done some work, now I am installing Xen virtual machine But I need a .tar.bz2 file which is the base Operating System (for Ubuntu or Debian)* but I do not know where to download it from, the ones I found via google were the installation files in form of ISO or CD and of course I do not want to install them cuz I already have the latest version of Ubuntu 9.04, ( just need the zipped |OS so I can unzip it once I have setup this empty virtual drive so basically I want my VM to have some sort of OS on it so it can be booted and used)_
So any help will be appreciated.


* I am not really sure what the difference is between Debian and Ubuntu Linux? I see our servers running Ubuntu but use the debian files for xen?
(The debian base system file on our server is way too old and the guy who set it all up is gone...)!?

Regards;

NAME
dscextract - extract a single file from a Debian source package SYNOPSIS
dscextract [options] dscfile file DESCRIPTION
dscextract reads a single file from a Debian source package. The idea is to only look into .diff.gz files (source format 1.0) or .debian.tar.gz/bz2 files (source format 3.0) where possible, hence avoiding to unpack large tarballs. It is most useful for files in the debian/ subdirectory. file is relative to the first level directory contained in the package, i.e. with the first component stripped. OPTIONS
-f "Fast" mode. For source format 1.0, avoid to fall back scanning the .orig.tar.gz file if file was not found in the .diff.gz. (For 3.0 packages, it is assumed that debian/* are exactly the contents of debian.tar.gz/bz2.) EXIT STATUS
0 file was extracted. 1 file was not found in the source package. 2 An error occurred, like dscfile was not found. EXAMPLE
dscextract dds_2.1.1+ddd105-2.dsc debian/watch || test $? = 1 AUTHOR
