You could download the rpm's
http://rpmfind.net/
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3
and transfer them to your computer.

Well, you can obviously get online SOMEWHERE, otherwise you wouldn't be able to post....

As repo suggested, you can download the RPM's manually, and copy them over for installation, but be prepared for a lengthy process. Most RPM's will have dependencies, and THEY will have dependencies too.

The easiest thing to do, would be to take your computer somewhere you can get online, and it'll complete in no time.

off line would be " fun" and difficult . the best way would be to get online with the laptop and use dangermouse's autonine ( fedora 10 is current so autoten is shown on the site )

and here is auto nine

or download EVERYTHING in this how to and burn to dvd then install on the laptop
