Why do you say that? If you use apt-cdrom to set your apt sources.list so it points at your collection of woody CDs (also comment out or delete any references to network sources), you can apt-get install plenty of stuff without a network connection. Similarly, you could then use aptitude (I really like aptitude, and being ncurses-based, it doesn't need X). And you really will want to install the kernel-package package before you start actually compiling a kernel, so there's nothing cruel or inappropriate about referring you to docs that are included in that package. Depending on how many of the woody CDs you have, you can very likely use apt-get or aptitude to install all the packages that people have been suggesting. I used this method to install all the tools that are called for in the Very Verbose Guide to Compiling a Debian Kernel.
