So I finished building my computer and I got Steam on it by trying to install Skyrim. It gives me Steam but it says I have to have internet to continue. I'm pretty sure that I don't need online mode to install the game. I want to log in offline or just be in Steam but how do I do it? I don't have internet on my computer yet.

You can't log into Steam in Offline Mode without first being online. Step 1 of Valve's official docs for offline mode state that you should "Start Steam online."
Additionally, it's not possible to install games without being online in Steam.
Further, with most Steam games installing using the discs is a painful process as Steam tends to like to download the full game from Steam servers even if the disc is present.
Thus, even though you may have the discs for a game, if it requires Steam, you will need an internet connection in order to install it.

It is possible but we don't support piracy here. – Mark Apr 23 '14 at 09:08
