Hi Monkeyman,
You could always boot up a live CD
Linux Lite 3.0 ships with version 2.2.2 Weathewax.
If you wanted to take it even further in case 2.2.2 is not enough, you could install what you want/need into the Live CD running system. Then copy the packages pulled in via apt (located under /var/cache/apt/archives/) to an USB stick/hard drive. Next time you boot up the live CD you would just have to install these packages directly. No internet access needed anymore. I use this method on a regular basis.
Of course you could also create a LiveUSB with persistent storage or even go all the way of actually installing the system to an external medium. But that seems overkill and would use a lot more space.
