Is it possible to install the piratebox-stuff without the internet?

[MaStr]

Coding done. First Testing ok. Error-Message of no File found and no WAN

Some Stuff, which is required while using basic package:

Configuring kmod-scsi-core. Configuring kmod-usb-storage. Configuring libpthread. Configuring kmod-lib-crc16. Configuring libcom_err. Configuring libblkid. Configuring libuuid. Configuring libext2fs. Configuring blkid. Configuring swap-utils. Configuring block-mount. Configuring kmod-fs-vfat. Configuring kmod-fs-ext4. Configuring losetup. Configuring kmod-nls-cp437. Configuring kmod-nls-cp850. Configuring kmod-nls-iso8859-1. Configuring kmod-nls-iso8859-15. Configuring kmod-loop.

All of them are pulled by package dependencie.. what to do with?

Additional for pyhton to add: zlib libpthread

Development stalled, because for dependencies of "usb-disk-drivers" you have to have an internet-connection :(

I was thinking about this last night. What if you made a dependencies file that users could download on to a flash drive and install prior to the primary piratebox install? I am not a programmer so I don't know if this is possible

[MaStr]

I already coded a part of it. It is possible, but it mostly depends on the image you are using and if there are some hidden dependencies. If you use a "normal" openwrt image and not a special build one, then you can't mount your usb disk. Without this possibility, you still need internet-access for downloading the packages, that you can install the drivers for your usb device... It is an hen-egg problem. :(

So, I came to the result, that you need internet so do no further development in this stuff.

Yes there seems to be many version of this and not one standard. That is a good thing because then private developers like yourself can build it and make it better.

OK no boot from disk yet.... :)

Won't be fixed
