Installing Arch on PC without Internet Connection/Slow Connection

Arch Linux requires a fairly good internet connection to set up. How can one install it on machines which don't have any internet connectivity? Is there any way to make a DVD of Arch on a computer connected to internet and having Arch setup(DE,Media Players,Codecs etc) which can then be used on machines without internet connections This would come useful for me to install at my friends place. Does anyone even has a remote solution on this?

You could also install on a computer with a connection, then use something like Clonezilla to deploy it.

HT5730 After I installed 10.8.48.4 Internet browsing slowed down to the pace of a dial-up connection. How can I get back to normal operating speed?

After I installed 10.8.4, my Internet browsing slowed down to the pace of a dial-up connection -- unless it froze up completely. How do I get my system back to a normal operating mode? Can I dump 10.8.4 and go back to the one that at least worked?

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them.
1. Have you restarted your router and broadband modem since you first noticed the problem? If the answer is no, do that now and see whether there's any change.
2. Are any other web browsers installed, and are they also slow?
3. What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
4. Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they also slow?
5. If you can test Safari on another network, is it slow there too?
6. If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

Install self-signed Application without internet connection

I am in Window Xp. I build a simple adobe air application(myapp.air which is self signed). I have my PC installed with the latest Adobe Air Runtime. Disconnected from the network, And install myapp.air. The install process is finished without any error. But then I can not see any screen of my application. I can see the process is running with Ctrl+Alt+Del, but no application is running. It happen them same when I click the exe file.
I try this over different other application and found that:
1) in Marketplace which is signed do not have this problem
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/marketplace/index.cfm?event=marketplace.offering&offeringid=1 1541&marketplaceid=1
2) in Marketplace which is self-signed do not have this problem
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/marketplace/index.cfm?event=marketplace.offering&marketplacei d=1&offeringid=10309
3) third party software which is self-signed have this problem

Installing Reader on PCs without internet access.

How do I download and install Reader to a CD so that I can install on desktop PCs that do not have internet access.

You can download the full offline Reader installer from

Howto install Arch from iso (without buring CD) -unable to chroot ...

Hi.
I have successfully used the method to install from another linux partition in the past - as outlined here - http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … ting_Linux
- However I want to install the X86_64 version and my current machine doesn't have a pre-existing 64bit distro to chroot from....
I do not want to use floppy or cd to install - I always install from iso now, managed to get Fedora,Ubuntu, Gentoo and opensuse to install without burning the iso - Installing from iso is usually quicker and less prone to errors.........
I've tried the old method to boot from iso - here - http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fas … nux_System
However when I boot I get this
:: Scanning for boot cdrom device...
Failed to mount /dev/cd/cdrom-sr0
Failed to mount /dev/cd/cdrw-sr0
Failed to mount /dev/cd/dvd-sr0
ERROR: cannot find booted cdrom device, cannot continue...

Below is my grub menu.lst
title ArchCD

Also tried (and various other combinations)

kernel (hd0,5)/boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda6 BOOTMEDIA=cd lang=en locale=en_US.UTF-8 ramdisk_size=75%
initrd (hd0,5)/boot/archlive.img
Has anyone got any ideas ?

You could try something like UNetbootin.

Time Warner (Road Runner) Internet service - Slow Connection

In my office, we just got Time Warner Cable internet service. We had a T1 with Covad, but we needed to save money.
Now, with the Covad T1, every computer in my office (3 macs and 2 pcs) were all getting a consistent download speed of 1500kbps and upload speed to 1500kbps. That is fine, as that is what we were paying for.
Now, with the Time Warner Cable internet, we are paying for 7000kbps download speed and 768kbps upload speed. Every machine in my office is getting this speed except the Mac G5 (OS 10.3.9) on my desk. My Mac G5 is getting anywhere from 1000-3000kbps download speed and 768kbps upload speed.
As far as I can tell, the problem has to be in my mac. Can somebody please give me a direction to go that might help me get the internet speeds that I am supposed to be getting? The speeds that all the other computer on my network are getting?

First, be sure you are making an Apples-to-Apples comparison. There are lots of ways to get different results.
Then fire up Network Utility (in the Utilities folder) and check your Ethernet (en0). You should see it using the speed you expect ( 1 Gb??) and you should see several error counters that are very nearly zero. If any of these counters are not essentially zero, or climb as you use the Internet, you have a marginal communication problem, possibly a bad cable.
If you are in fact using Gigabit Ethernet, remember that the cables must have all 4 pairs present and firmly mounted in the connectors, because unlike 10 Base-T or 100 Base-T, Gigabit Ethernet uses all four pairs. There is a maximum cable length, but it is about 100 meters (the length of an American Football field).
Network Utility also has a Ping function, and you can ping a convenient nearby node, such as your Router or one of those other computers that seems to be getting better download speeds than you. If several rounds of 10 pings complete without errors or huge time intervals, you could try pinging something farther away, such as your ISP or Microsoft, or Apple, Inc.

Installing Premier Elements 13 without internet access

Is it possible to install this offline? I have the setup files downloaded, but when I try to run the installer it prompts me to sigh in with an Adobe i.d. which I obviously can't do. Does anyone know of a workaround for this? Thanks.

Hi rpholt12,
Please check the procedure of offline activation here Offline Activation .
Thanks,

Installing itunes onto laptop without internet conection

i can't seem to be able to do this...was trying to copy it onto a disc, but couldn't. Any ideas? thanks

I just googled itunes 2.0 and found a 2.04 download suitable for 9.0.4 or better OS 9.2 reccomended.
www.download.com/3640-2199-9429701.html
apple has it too:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120073
Can you dowlnoad it to one computer and then make a disk image/cd to take to the other computer for your mom? Seems less risky than getting it from another computer. I've done that before and it's really time consuming and hit or miss.

Satellite C55-B5355 Wifi intermittent connection, slow connection

I have a Satellite C55-B5355 with and Artheros Wifi chipset. Bought this about 6 months ago. Wifi for some reason has stopped wsorking well. Break connection to the netork intermittently. Very slow when trying to access. Downloaded and installed the latest driver from Toshiba, no good. Also tried settings in power profile so it's not turned off byt he system, but still no go. Tried Safe Mode with network loaded, no go. I've plugged it in direct to the router with a LAN cable and it works fine, so it's definitely a Wifi issue. This was working, strangely it's not now and nothing was essentially changed ont he system save for routine Windows updates. I noted that several others on the community boards have had similar issue with the Artheros Wifi. Anyone know what the story is?? Disappointed that this would happen one a new laptop. I've owned Toshiba's before with no issues. this is frustrating.

Guys, I just fix this problem. Don't know if it's gonna work for all of you but can give it a try.As I mentioned before, I own a L855-S5371 with a RTL8188CE wireless card. Windows 8.1 up to date.Tried many drivers from MS and Realtek without any luck until...I changed my router. Somehow my some-years-old laptop it's not compatible with this Cable modem router I have now.I must clarify, the router works OK for all other devices except my laptop.I linked an old router to the actual Cable modem router and everything works perfect now. There are some compatibility issues with these kind of routers since in my gf's house I have the exact same problem. The thing is that I had this router BEFORE without any problem. So maybe a Windows Update patch must be the culprit.Hope this helps for you guys.Keep it safe.

Slow connection, slow connection

Have extremely slow wireless connection speeds using TIme Machine's Airport Utility. Connecting computer directly to our internet router gets us speeds over 30Mbps, but using Time machine as network we are lucky to get past 8Mbps. Any suggestions?

Do you have a modem or modem router?? When you say connect directly to the internet router is that with wireless or ethernet??
Wireless is never as fast as ethernet.. please test again with ethernet to the TC, connected to the modem in bridge.
Get the wireless link speed and info and tell us what link speed do you have.
You can redo the setup of the TC and if nearby use 5ghz.. by giving the 5ghz a different name and forcing the connection.

If I download Mountain Lion on my MBP , can I use the same installer file on a different computer and continue the installation without Internet connectivity?

Hi Folks,
I have just downloaded Mountain lion on my Macbook Pro(haven't installed it yet) . My question is, can I copy the same downloaded Mountain Lion from the Applications on to an external hard drive and use the same on a different computer? I am having problems with internet connectivity right now, it would be amazing if it can be installed on the iMac without internet connection.
So is that doable?
Thanks in advance

And the 2nd installation would not require internet connectivity? Except , of course during the set up and the configuration of iCloud and location based services, which I can skip at the time

Installing arch, wireless

Ok so I know the first thing after i install arch i will need internet, and my only connection is a linksys wmp54gs wireless card which uses the bcmwl5 driver with ndiswrapper. What should i do/download beforehand so i can get this working before i go ahead and install arch.

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless
You might want to give the b43 driver a try as it seems like they support more device than ndiswrapper.
Also I suggest that you have your computer pluged into a wired connection while you are download the packages to make wireless work, this will save you much time!

E1200 - Unreliable and slow connection

I had a Linksys WRT54G router for 10 years and it worked perfectly, after some upgrades, but great. I have 1 Desktop, 1 Laptop, 1 Android Tablet, 3 Roku Boxes and XBOX and PS3. With my previous router I could use these devices with particular good speed and great in streaming HD.
The only good thing is its fairly easy to set up.
However, I am more interested in performance, and this is where this unit fails. The internet connection stalls at times on easy websites and lessens with multiple Roku boxes working. The picute on Netflix on my Roku Boxes looks like VCR Quality, compared to full 1080 HD with my previous router.
This product has...
Unreliable connection
slow connection
About me...
Heavy media streamer

If I relate your issue then the above mentioned solution justifies the troubleshooting steps to be taken, however, in addition to that i would also like to suggest you to try and install your Linksys E1200 router using the Cisco Connect Software just in case, if you are not using it....
Installation disc that came along with your router would help you in installing this router using the Cisco Connect Software, using which you can expect this router to offer you best throughput with both wired and wireless connectivity.....

Also, try re-installing your router using the Cisco Connect Software, and it should help your cause....Just in case required, you can use the above mentioned troubleshooting steps.....

Can I install Arch Linux without Internet connection ?

It sounds noobish but my friends like to know if they can install Arch Linux without Internet connection ?

The core iso should be all you need, just boot off that to start the installation. It's been a while since I did an install, but somewhere along the way it gives you an option to install off the cd or do a net install. You just need to choose the cd installation.
That being said, all you'll have without internet will be what's on the cd, so you'll be left with a pretty minimal install. If you want to update and install additional software then you'll either need to get the computer temporarily connected, or download the packages on a different computer and transfer them.
I am looking to do something similar. I have the core system installed on an older laptop, but I cannot get the wireless working (it has no ethernet). I've tried downloading the libgl packagesfrom a mirror to a thumbdrive, but it's a dependency nightmare. Is there a better way to do this?
