I am trying to install ubuntu 10.04 server on a desktop and have a few issues.

My network card is not supported by ubuntu 10.04 so I have to download the driver. That is not an issue to install it but there is another issue.

By default, the installation does not have the following libraries, g++, dpkg-dev, libc6, libc-dev-bin, linux-libc-dev.

I cant do an update online since I do not have internet access. How do I get all the required libraries to install on the box so I can install the correct driver so I can get internet access on the box?

I found the ubuntu website download them all by hand but it has way to many dependents. I need something I can download and run maybe like 2 or 3 files only.

Use a spare network card, something Intel based, or purchase a inexpensive wifi dongle. Both will be much easier than trying to configure your current network card. – kingmilo Feb 21 '12 at 5:52
Tried that. No luck. I don't want to install a wifi card on it. I did try the spare network card. No luck. More ideas? – Justin Feb 21 '12 at 6:15
When you say 'no luck', do you mean the second network card was not recognized either? What type of network card is it? Can you post the results of lspci. You wouldn't have to keep the wifi card it could be used solely to provide connectivity to the desktop which will allow you easier installation of the network card you wish to use. – kingmilo Feb 21 '12 at 6:23
I am what you call a noob at linux. I have no problem detecting the card. However, ubuntu has assigned the wrong driver to it. I am not sure how to get the results of lspci to this screen so ill give you high sumary – Justin Feb 21 '12 at 6:36
ATI pretty much everything The network card is a realtek semiconductor co. ltd RTL8111/8168B PCI express – Justin Feb 21 '12 at 6:37

Im going to provide you with two ways of doing this. The first utilizes the apt-offline method which requires the downloading of the apt-offline PPA. The second utilizes a program called Keryx.

First Option: Download the following by issuing the command in a terminal window and then click the following link to describe how to use an Ubuntu Live CD as a repository to install packages to offline computers. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptCdrom

sudo apt-get install apt-offline

Second Option: Keryx is a portable, cross-platform package manager for APT-based (Ubuntu, Debian) systems. It provides a graphical interface for gathering updates, packages, and dependencies for offline computers. Keryx is free and open source. You can get Keryx here: http://keryxproject.org/
