Sorry, if I got you wrong there. It's just that you wrote about a

I don't understand that. You can do all this with Ubuntu. Just copy
the .deb file to "CD/pendrive, ...". Synaptic even gives you the
possibility to create a script to automatically download the software

supports media other than the internet, like CDs. But this might get a
bit offtopic.
