Same way you install the OS without internet, put it on a thumb drive.

Well sure, but if i have to figure out what to get, where to get it, how to install a driver from a tar.gz file, maybe i just install ubuntu instead.
I opted for fedora instead, until it died on an nvidia update (as every distro inevitably seems to do with me) and fucked off back to windows. Linux desktop has not treated me well so far in any case.

It will be the non-free drivers package. If installing Debian, also grab the non-free drivers, you'll need it for wifi
