I made installed Ubuntu 16.04.01 via a bootable USB Stick from a downloaded Ubuntu *.iso made with the unetbootin.exe tool in windows. It installed great to a computer with no internet access. worked like a charm!
When I opened the Ubuntu Software center I expected to see installed and not installed software to browse. But I only did see installed software and no other. I tried to install aptitude in the command line, to see if I missed some settings in the gui, but I got this:
>su apt-get install aptitude

E: Package 'aptitude' has no installation candidate
I also tried to add the USB repository explicitly in SoftwareCenter/Software&Updates/Other Software/Add.. by adding
deb file:///media/<username>/ubuntustick/dists xenial main restricted
The Software center did not show more programs nor did I get other output from the command line install. I am out of ideas.
So I guess my Question is:
On the standard Installation ISO files, is there any other package than the ones installed by default?
I did read the installation notes and it said "server and desktop share the same repositories". So at least I would have expected to find some server software on the cd image. So I would rather expect I missed a switch or something.
edit: repository updating with the ISO repository on USB gave the following output. I added
deb file:///media/CatMan/UBUNTU1640 xenial main restricted
Output was:
