Question #77051 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/77051

actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
You can install software from the install CD as well as using things
like aptoncd and usb sticks to transfer deb files from a system with a
web connection to one that doesnt. You will need to also satify
dependancies if you start transferring deb files and it can get messy.

If you have the CD in your system, you can launch synaptic and tell it
to use the CD as a repository. You can now install any app you wish that
is available on the install CD

A web connection is advised to get updates but is by no means a must
