Well, sort of... Any distro I've installed lately first sets up an
internet connection so it can phone home and get the rest of its stuff.
The Lubuntu install I did recently was very unhappy with the Broadcomm

install the Broadcomm driver.

That SiSE 8.1 box set I found in the shed was the good old days.
Everything was on the multiple disks in the box.
