Operating System Without the Internet

jackjack701 · Nov 19, 2016

Hey,

I'm not sure if this even exists, but I am looking for an operating system which doesn't even have the option to connect to the internet. I would just like to be able to use a word processor and save some pictures, but not much more than that .

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

just disable the ethernet/wifi on any operating system you fancy

not sure any will come like that as how would you update anything etc

Every time I do that I keep getting pop ups saying 'you are disconnected' or 'you need to connect' etc

And I'm not that fussed about updating, I just need something completely stand alone without internet functionality.

Activation would be a pain on Windows without internet (actually impossible for Windows 10), and I think you need to reactivate every 6 months or something too and every time you change your hardware. I think most Linux builds don't require internet.

cant say have ever heard of an operating system with no internet capability

if connecting by ethernet could just disable ethernet port in your bios shouldnt tell you then you arent connected since it wont see a way to connect

Thanks, although it's not just about requiring internet, I want something completely stand alone without internet functionality altogether

mcnumpty23 · Nov 19, 2016

linux still has the capability though

thats not what they want though think chances of finding what they want are slim

would have to be a special linux one thats been designed with total security in mind for stand alone machines

ok heres a specialy modified linux for stand alone machines have a read see if it will do what you want

Any linux distribution. just disable or uninstall (or dont install at all) the network components. Or compile the kernel without network support. Even in windows you can uninstall network adapters or disable networking all together.

How would I uninstall the network components from linux? Thanks btw

It seems likely that you could install any Linux distro then uninstall the network manager and all its elements. Then disable the auto-updating of the system and programs. After doing this, you should never see any notifications and nothing would ever change. I haven't tried it myself.

mcnumpty23 :

This looks fairly promising! However could I run it as my main OS on the computer hard drive? Or is that not possible, as it seems like it isn't meant to be used like that

mcnumpty23 · Nov 19, 2016

its a step beyond running it on a hard drive i am afraid they took security to the absolute maximium so think it only runs "live"

though i didnt read it all to be totally certain you couldnt install it

Thanks! Do you know how I can uninstall specific components of linux?

skittle · Nov 19, 2016

On ubuntu or debian:
Uninstall the network manager with command

Code:

sudo apt-get purge network-manager

Or just disable it with

Code:

sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager.service
sudo systemctl disable NetworkManager.service

Or install minimal ububtu or debian or any other distrobution and just don't install any network manager

Its literally just the reverse of installation.

Example:
Install firefox:
sudo apt-get install firefox

Remove firefox:
sudo apt-get remove firefox

can also just put the internet down with shell command

ifconfig eth0 down

replace with wlan0 if using wifi

quite honestly this would be more sensible than not having net access under any circumstances so if you did need something you just put it back up get what you need and put it back down/off
