Dunno if python or python2.7 are installed by default.
Of course they are! Python is a basic component of GNU/Linux systems these
days; all kinds of software is written in Python. The only one in Ubuntu
systems I know by name is IBus, but I'm sure there are several others; I know
that Fedora's installer, Anaconda, is written in Python (or at
Heh, looks like you're right. Trying to uninstall python2.7 informs me half
of the system would go right along with it.
Thus apt-offline should be a good solution. (probably obvious to many people,
now I too am convinced :)
Thank you all for your comments. Unfortunately, rova is right. Without the
ethernet firmware, I have no possibility to connect to the internet and hence
can't use apt for anything.
Downloading the .deb package manually and installing it on the new system
seems extremly risky to me, since I
The apt-offline package should come handy.
Actually, there's a tool specifically for this kind of job called
apt-offline. There's a post about it from Magic Banana here:

Great, with this information I made a wiki page. Please, check it and correct
it or add something to it :D

I guessed that apt-offline would somehow grab the desired package with all
its dependencies on the system *with* internet so they can get transfered to
the offline system, but after reading the wiki page I think I'm wrong?
So I copy apt-offline to the offline system? But if the dependencies
You have apt-offline on both the offline system and an online system. You
generate a key from the offline system, transfer that over to the online
system, and then use that with apt-offline on the online system to grab the
packages you need. Then you take those packages back to the offline
Hello guys,
on my notebook Debian is running at the moment but I want to replace it with
trisquel.
I only use the main repositories of debian (wheezy) and didn't install
anything additional.
Nevertheless, my ethernet card is working fine on debian but it didn't work

It is supported by the alx driver, recent 3.5 Trisquel kernels should
have it, Debian backports it to 3.2. Upstream has it since 3.10.

I think it will work on Trisquel pdated installation but not on Live CD as
those drivers were not in that version. Download Trisquel 6.0.1 --
http://devel.trisquel.info/makeiso/iso/. Surely, it-ll work.
The live CD has version 3.2, so in other words, it should work in Trisquel if
you upgrade the kernel to 3.5 (sudo apt-get install
linux-generic-lts-belenos) or 3.11 (sudo apt-get install
linux-generic-lts-saucy).
He can do it if he has Internet connection.
Right, that's the difficulty. I'm not very familiar with them, but it is
possible to download the packages from another computer, transfer them with
something like a USB stick, and then install them without an Internet
connection. Alternatively, wireless can do the trick if the computer is
Sadly, those ISOs still have the original 3.2 kernel installed by default
even though 3.11 (linux-image-lts-saucy) is out there and should be installed
by default with these 6.0.1 ISOs.

I also meant to mention that in order to get the latest LTS stack, you need
to run this command according to ubuntu.com:
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-lts-saucy
xserver-xorg-lts-saucy libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-saucy
