Hey guys, I'm trying to install either ubuntu minimal or server edition onto my laptop, and then download the packages I want via apt.
The problem is there is no wireless support after the initial installation- you have to download the needed packages for WiFi support, preferably from apt-get.
I don't have an extra LAN cord to hook to my router, and I'm currently unable to unplug it and swap cables to begin with (don't ask).
I know I can get the main deb packages from another computer, but how can I be sure I satisfy all the dependencies when I install them. I have no problem with, and already know how to configure WiFi from the cli. I just want some ideas on installing all this, without internet access. Thanks.
