Would be interesting to every once in a while test "Using Linux without a network connection" (as in: install everything from usb/media and check all your workflows)
- 3np 4y agoI'd expect any serious dist to already be doing this as part of their release process.
- grishka 4y agoI don't know about now, but when Ubuntu came on CD images intended for burning to actual CDs and offline installation, those images included most of the packages you'd ever need. Or at least that was my impression.
- planede 4y agoI expect it to work fairly well, apart from "netinst" install medias, of course.
- Rediscover 4y agoSlackware works great. OpenBSD, too. I yard out the drive, attach it to another machine and toss a copy of, e.g., slackware64-current (+ sources) and a bootloader on the drive, put the drive back in its original machine and boot/install without a network. After that, it may or may not ever see a network depending on what it is slated to do. https://www.slackware.com/ https://www.slackware.com/
