I do not think so. What "device drivers" will you have to configure? Can't
that be done after you bring back the hard drive?
Another way would be:
Burn a NetInstall ISO such as
http://jenkins.trisquel.info/makeiso-etiona/iso/trisquel-netinst_9.0_i686.iso
(for Trisquel 9) on a CD and download
http://archive.trisquel.info/trisquel/pool/main/a/apt-offline/apt-offline_1.8.1_all.deb
(again, for Trisquel 9);
Bring all that to the offline computer;
Install the NetInstall and 'sudo dpkg -i' apt-offline;
Use apt-offline as explained in
https://debian-administration.org/article/648/Offline_Package_Management_for_APT
