? about synaptic and packages

[braganfamily]

I have a computer at the office which is connected wirelessly to my router. I am wanting to install Hardy on it but the wireless driver will need ndiswrapper (belkin f5d5070 rev.e). Whe I install ubuntu, I will not be able to connect a wired connection to load ndiswrapper and associated dependencies. Is there a way to load them on another computer and transfer them to that computer inorder to load the packages for ndiswrapper?

I hope I was clear enough. I want to load ndiswrapper on a pc to enable the wireless. That pc will not have an internet connection until after it is loaded. is there a way to get ndiswrapper loaded without an internet connection?

Thanks.

Yeah, you can download them from http://packages.ubuntu.com, transfer them via USB stick to your Ubuntu computer's desktop and then type these commands in the terminal (http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/terminal):
cd ~/Desktop
sudo dpkg -i *.deb

aysiu,

Thanks! I'll give it a try. Will the package for ndiswrapper have all dependencies?

No. You will have to download all the dependencies manually.
