Install start x without internet

How do you install start x on ubuntu server without internet connection from a flashdrive using sudo commands. Can you give me a link to the xinit download file and the list of commands.

There are several ways to do that.

You will need to use dpkg

Code:

dpkg -i packagename.deb

apt-get is for installing things from a repository

But now it says unknown option 1?? i had to manually mount the drive????

Did you maybe type a number 1 instead of the lower case letter i?

Code:

 dpkg -i packagename.deb

USB drives will usually auto mount under the /media directory so you will need to look there

FYI you will need MUCH more than just the xinit package to start an X session if you are beginning from the standard Ubuntu Server install
