If you where asked to setup linux at new computer , what will be your steps to do that , and how can you install programs needed without internet ?

Install the package from DVD with the help of rpm or yum. If you are using yum, configure DVD as repository.

Hello hesham, Can you please clarify what is the problem with your mobile broadband connection?. If you want you can you directly install linux from CD/USB and then let YUM update itself. Actually YUM is a great way to simplfy lots of problem encountered during installation of linux . YUM (updater module), allows you to add/install pacakages on demand and then you can install them as per your need. I would prefer to prepare a YUM repository and then add all required pacakages, finally install all of them. Or when ever you get internet anytime.just execute these commands in sequence.

sudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get upgradesudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Then begin the upgrade process:

sudo apt-get install update-manager-coresudo do-release-upgrade
