Title:
  Installing without Internet access causes nvidia driver not installed

Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired
Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  Steps to reproduce:

  1. Install an Ubuntu 8.04 LTS on a machine without Internet access and
  with a nVIDIA graphics card, using Desktop CD.

  Expected behavior:

  The nvidia-glx-new propietary driver is installed even without
  Internet access, because the .deb package can be found in the
  installation CD.

  Actual behavior:

  - The nvidia-glx-new package is not installed, so is not used. If you go to System->Administration->Hardware drivers, you can see that the nvidia-glx-new driver is not installed.
  - If you go to System->Administration->Software sources, you can see that all Ubuntu Internet repositories are activated (but the machine hasn't Internet access!), and the Hardy CD-ROM checkbox is unchecked, so the CD-ROM is not been used to access packages. (Could this be another issue? May I create a separate bugreport for this?)
