Come on, guys. Are self-installer packages really THAT much harder to write than the Ubuntu Software Center's "install directly from the internet" nonsense?

Hi
You do know that the Canonical devs very rarely, if ever, come to Ubuntu forums, don't you ?
You'd be better off with Ubuntu brainstorm, or some such, than posting that request here.
Kind regards

A Carafe of Ubuntu
Lack of decent/funny memes is a more likely candidate for Linux's #1 problem.
Ubuntu addict and loving it
I wasn't aware that lack of networking support is Linux's "#1 problem". It would seem to power one heck of a lot of network-enabled devices, last time I checked...
Tea Glorious Tea!
I agree with lykwydchykyn, networking support is not a major issue with Linux hardware support these days. I'm sure there are people who have problems with specific chips, but I'm not the one making general statements.
Now GPUs on the other hand...
Quad Shot of Ubuntu
It is true that we are lacking a decent, standardised way of installing stuff without an internet connection.
Please mark your thread as solved if you get a satisfactory solution to your problem.

The 'self installers' are the deb packages that you can download (just like the software center or apt does online), but they could have dependencies.
I guess I'm not seeing the issue. You would run into dependency hell without it. You would find that the package you wanted to install requires something else.
