Thread: accidently removed gnome and no available internet connection


hello all, quite new linux, have been using last few months. switched on debian squeeze.

today removing applications/libraries in synaptics , accidentally removed gnome-core.

on wpa2 hidden wireless network, , getting , running through terminal in recovery mode has been killer, i've searched half dozen threads , nothing seeming work.

wired pretty far away , not want keep moving desktop on house.

when in terminal type apt-get install gnome-core tells me need download 11 new packages, of course fails because theres no connection.

there way use command compile list packages need reinstall gnome-core, manually retrieve them ftp.us.debian.org, save them eternal media , install them dpkg -i *.deb?

in advance!

i bit unclear distro using suggest files need live cd.

go system, administration, software sources , place tick box next entry under "installable cd-rom/dvd". avoid confusion can temporarily untick boxes "downloadable internet".
