If you don't have an internet connection, how are you posting on the forum?
Seriously, you can download the debian packages on another Debianized computer, save 'em to removable media such as a flash drive or cd, then install it on the target computer using dpkg.
command to use:
Code: Select all
aptitude install -d wireless-tools
The 'd' switch forces aptitude to download only.
The package, and dependents, would be located in
/var/apt/cache/archives which initially likely contains a number of packages you won't need, so you could either:
- 1. first run apt-get clean on the host computer, or
2. rename the folder, then create a new, temporary /var/apt/cache/archive folder to temporarily contain wireless-tools etc.
If you choose the former, once aptitude has finished the task, copy contents of /var/apt/cache/archives to a removable media.
If you choose the latter method, once you've copied the contents to a removable media, delete the temporary /var/apt/cache/archives, and restore the original by renaming it once more.
