Installing packages offline

[DrLFToxic]

Hello.

I want to install ubuntu 9.10 onto my pc.
I have wireless in my home, and my pc doesnt have a working wired lan adaptor.

is there a way to download the packages needed for my devices and software to a pendrive for installing?

thanks in advance,

Ashley

Using the Ubuntu disc, install ndisgtk, ndiswrapper-common and ndiswrapper-utils-x from Synaptic.

Starting from step 2 in the link,
configure ndiswrapper using the windows driver for your wireless adaptor. (http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-ndiswrapper-wpa_supplicant-howto/)

With internet access now available, you can install the other packages normally.

Or

Did you want to install Ubuntu from the pendrive?

If the packages you need are available from the repos, you can download them with Keryx (http://keryxproject.org).
