Although the laptop doesn't have network access, you can still install the ports tree (ports.tar.gz on the official CD set or available on the mirrors...) & generate the dependency lists (one for building & the other for runtime...)
  • Details on installing the ports tree is covered in Section 5.3.3 of the FAQ:

    http://openbsd.org/faq/faq5.html#BldGetSrc
  • Details on generating the dependency lists can be found in the archives:

    http://daemonforums.org/showthread.p...t=dependencies

    make print-build-depends & make print-run-depends are my favorites.
  • Familiarizing yourself with the FAQ's discussion on applications found in the ports tree (whether installed by packages or building...) is good background information to have:

    http://openbsd.org/faq/faq15.html
  • A handy third-party site for searching for information on available ports can be found at the following:

    http://openports.se/

    Although, be cognizant that this site focuses on developers, & thus on -current. Very recently added applications will not be avaiable for -release yet.
Let us know if you have any problems.
