The documentation is correct about the installer being completely offline. I believe the reason the installer mentions "downloading" packages is because Qubes OS uses a modified version of the Fedora installer, which, unlike Qubes OS, can download packages over the Internet during installation, and this "downloading" text was not changed, even though the Qubes installer is completely offline. In the Qubes OS installer, the packages are actually just being "downloaded" from your flash drive (or whichever installation medium you wrote your Qubes ISO to). I don't believe that your error actually has anything to do with your machine lacking network access. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
