Is there a way to install Ubuntu server 18.04 without network? Looks like Ubuntu live server 18-04 does not install without network; if I select a network connection and then disconnect it before install starts, it errors out when it tries to download the current kernel; apparently Ubuntu server 18.04 refuses to install if it can't download the current kernel and grub/efi from the network; I didn't see any checkbox for offline install. On the positive side, it correctly partitions a new disk and installs the efi partition correctly and it is actually bootable;

  • Try the [alternative installer](http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/18.04/release/?_ga=2.197101739.640645856.1529243436-1242362650.1246318765) (the old way). The [test case](http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/389/builds/171113/testcases/1441/results), uses that method. – Doug Smythies Jun 17 '18 at 13:56
  • @DougSmythies installing using this ubuntu-18.04-server-amd64.iso image worked; the problem was that I previously tried the ubuntu-18.04-live-server-amd64.iso image which requires net during install to get a kernel and grub; if you mention this as an answer I will accept it – jmarina Jun 24 '18 at 07:15
