I would like to perform installation in text mode, without network connection.
Is it possible and if yes, how ?
Thanks in advance

If I remember correctly, when you boot the Trisquel installation media, you have the option to use text mode.

You are right, I found the text mode boot option, went through the first steps until it requires a network connection.
At this point, it is just impossible to go any further if there is no network connection available.
Installation should be possible as all necessary data are on the DVD, isn't it ?

Correct, you should be able to install a fully functional system without connecting to the Internet. To be fair I have never used the text mode installation. I'll give it a try tonight and let you know my experience. I wonder if there is a skip option during the network configuration?

The text mode installer is the same thing as the netinstall. It requires
an Internet connection.
