Hi,

I am looking for a secure wallet for quite some time now and there are several solutions
but I still have some questions since I always have my doubts about these solutions in one way or another.

So for creating an offline wallet you will need a clean system AND a bitcoin client or some other software to create your wallet.

For a clean system I could use a windows installation cd or mac installation cd - ok (let's assume they are ok).

But what if wanted to use ubuntu for example. I would have to download the system with my online system and burn it to cd or copy it to a usb drive. Same goes for the client or any other software which will create the pub/priv-keypair.
How do I get to download absolutely securely???

As far as I know I have to assume that my online system is already compromised and
the moment I put by usb drive into my online computer it potentially gets infected, too.

So how do I get the needed apps/programs onto my offline system without compromising it?

Thanks for your help!

PS Same goes for truecrypt for additionally encrypting the wallet.dat
