OMG, far from it, I have yet to achieve my objective, which is to install
essential packages such as xorg, gnome-core or gnome-full off the USB
flash/thumb drive without the need to access the internet. Certainly, I did
learn something useful from you, such as apt-cdrom, dmesg and the mount point
of a USB stick.

I'm working towards a similar goal. My restrictions include:
1. not only minimal internet , but absolutely *NO* networking
at all
2. not only installing a few specified packages, but allow
installing
*any* package from the distro
3. automating the install with an appropriate preseed.cfg
My project allows using a 64 GB flash drive.
See my thread titled "Copying complete SET of installation DVDs
to a USB stick" beginning at
https://lists.debian.org/53494721.3090...@cloud85.net for what
I've accomplished so far and hints as to how some problems will
be addressed.
