Installing Linux with out wired internet connection

[scslomberg]

I am wondering if there is a way Linux can make distro installations with out connecting to a wired internet connection.

One may either download the ISO for a distro not requiring an internet connection to install, like the Slackware-based distros Salix or Vector, or purchase not only the distro install disc but also DVDs containing repositories from a vendor such as OSdisc.

PLEASE do not start a poll about a question like this.

You can.

You can later add new applications using:

APTonCD - http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/
Synaptic - http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/1059

As pane-free says, go for DVDs rather than CDs because they will have more resources. Magazine cover discs are a good source.
