Download a Live CD iso (it's about 700 MB in size, so you won't have problems with vfat filesystem), and create a bootable USB from that. Then you boot into the Live environment, and once there click on the "install to hard disk" icon (there is one at least in KDE version of the Live CD). I just did it, and it worked perfectly, without using any network, of course. It took just a couple of minutes to complete (essentially the time it takes to copy 700 MB from USB to a hard drive...).
