Why does Atlas-OS require an internet connection?

First off, thanks to all who have helped in the creating of this incredible piece of software!

I wondere why does Atlas-OS require an internet connection? Everything should be selfcontained in the atlas executable and the playbook?

Hi @sKGu8gxV,
That is not the case. For additional software such as c++ and directx redistrubutables and web browsers. They are downloaded over the internet to ensure you are receiving the latest versions.

hi the-P1neapple,
Thanks for the reply!
May I ask if it's possible to disable this? I have this already on another disk and would prefer to install this manually, especially browsers.
