Search the install disk for .deb files. If they are supplied you could use these to install from, however dependencies would still need to be installed.

If you have limited download ability you should keep a copy of all .deb files saved in /var/cache/apt/archives. If you restore these files on a second machine or after a re-install it can save you heaps of time downloading them again from the repositories.
