On the Internet-less computer:

• Open the Unity Dash, type "Terminal" and press enter
• In the new window enter PACKAGENAME=<The name of the Package to install> and press enter
• The enter this:
  apt-get -qqs install $PACKAGENAME | grep Inst | awk '{print $2}' | xargs apt-cache show | grep 'Filename: ' | awk '{print $2}' | while read filepath; do echo "wget \"http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/${filepath}\""; done >downloader.sh
• A ready-to-use downloader for the package has now been created in you home folder
• Open your home directory in the file browser and move the file downloader.sh to the top-level directory of your flash drive
• Eject your flash drive

On the computer with Internet:

• Open the flash drive in a terminal:
  • Insert your flash drive
  • Open your flash drive in the file browser
  • Type <Ctrl>L and then <Ctrl>C (This will copy the location of your flash drive)
  • Open the Unity Dash, type "Terminal" and press enter
  • In the Terminal type this: cd <Ctrl><Shift>V<Enter> (This will move you to the directory of the flash drive)
• Type sh downloader.sh and press enter
• Wait for the download to complete
• Eject your flash drive

Back to the Internet-less computer:

• Open the flash drive in a terminal:
  • Insert your flash drive
  • Open your flash drive in the file browser
  • Type <Ctrl>L and then <Ctrl>C (This will copy the location of your flash drive)
  • Open the Unity Dash, type "Terminal" and press enter
  • In the Terminal type this: cd <Ctrl><Shift>V<Enter> (This will move you to the directory of the flash drive)
• Type sudo dpkg --install *.deb and press enter
• Wait for the package to install

Note: This will only work with packages for the Ubuntu archive!
