   Hi,

   I am trying to install slitaz weekly build on a very old laptop with no network interfaces - I want to buold support for a US wireless adaptor, however I am flummoxxed by the lack of an existing network interface to install the necessary packages required to build to module I need

   To be specific, I need make, slitaz-toolchain and linux-api-headers and all their dependencies

   I have done this on a desktop with ethernet and was able to install the necessary packages that way

   Is there any way a biuld could be made available with these packages included?

   Key Master

   Boot slitaz on a computer with internet.
   # tazpkg up -r
# tazpkg -gi slitaz-toolchain
# tazpkg -gi linux-module-headers
   Compile the wireless driver.
   If the wireless driver requires firmware and it's not ralink download the correct firmware package.
   Copy the wireless driver and firmware if required to a USB flash drive,install on the old laptop that has no internet.
   # depmod -a
