Finally: Although wvdial and dependencies are included into CD of 10.04 are NOT installed by default!
Suppose a user needs wvdial to connect an unsupported modem without alternate internet connection: You do not need to download them, just use the .iso or LiveCD or LiveUSB following the procedure below: 1. right click ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso and 'open with archive mounter' (or mount LiveCD/LiveUSB) 2. right click on icon created (from 1) to 'browse folder' 3. create a folder on Desktop (ex. named 'wvdial') 4. copy into that folder all 4 .deb files that exist into .iso/LiveCD/LiveUSB ... /pool/main/w/wvdial and /pool/main/w/wvstreams 5. use System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager and then from menu File > Add downloaded packages > double click Desktop and then the folder you created at point #3 (ex. wvdial), click open, follow instructions to install (above procedure is fully tested, other ways may work also, 'sudo apt- get install wvdial' & normal Synaptic Package Manager options cause troubles).
