Re: off-topic somewhat: installing jedit/lilypondtool with no internet connection?

[James Lowe]

It is possible, it just depends on how adept you are and what you want 
really want out of your OS.

For example I have used Damn Small Linux, booting from a USB stick then 
download the applications from with then RAM disk image this loads 
(including Lilypond and a PDf viewer etc) and then make the settings 
persistent so the next time you boot it keeps all the files.

see:

and this worked well. It's just that DSL has minimal GUI and pretty much 
everything is CLI - at least when I used it.

I haven't tried this for the 2.12 version but 2.10 worked like a charm.

But you don't need an internet connection anyway to run lilypond, so why 
not just copy files FROM a computer that does using (oh I don't know, 
CD/DVD?) and then you're all set.

All you need are the exe files surely and install them? Unless I am 
really missing something here.
