How can one build a server without any network?

By downloading the entire ubuntu repository onto a disk?

Without Internet?

Where did you get the installation code to start with?

Rasperry Imager

How are you posting here without Internet?

I own seven computers...not just one ;-)

Or is the question how do you bootstrap onto the network from a bare
install?

Yes, I did not know that "ip" is also possible...gave it just a try.

Thanx

One can't. I bet it includes 'ip' as an alternative to ifconfig, try:
'ip a'.

Thank you!

For the record, you used to be able to purchase the Ubuntu and Debian repositories as a DVD collection from the Internet. You
would then load the indexes in your package manager and install the softweare in a more or less automated way using the package
managers and your DVDs.

You can replicate such deployment using a hard drive and installing a trivial repository there.

There was also a tool (whose name I don't remember) that was designed to be installed in a pen-drive. You would take your
pen-drive to a computer with internet and tell the too installed in the pen drive that you wanted to install $whatever in an
offline machine. The tool would download all the dependencies and packages and save them, so when you got back to your off-line
computer, you had everything that was needed to perform your install. The tool was also smart and didn't download dependencies
if it knew the off-line computer already had them installed.

BTW: The network-port on the RBP 400 *does* work without any
configuration. I placed my Pi 400 near the router and connected it with
the Pi 400.

I use it with ssh from other PC. Works great. Even a "Norton Commander" ("Midnight Commander") is available. Feels like 1989. :-D Love that machine.
