I'm trying to install an app called "b43-fwcutter".

1)Successful: I first performed "wget XXX" to get the file.
2)Successful: "tar xjf XXX" to uncompress the file
3)Successful: "cd XXX" to go inside the uncompressed directory
4)Successful: "make" ( some files got generated, so I guess successful)
5)FAIL: "sudo make install"
First, I used to get error: "sudo: not found".
Then, I followed some suggestions on a topic: I applied the command "sudo", then "bash"
When I tried "sudo make install" I got a different error: "sudo: command not found".

What should I do?

I think the problem is solved. I was root, and I think I shouldn't have used sudo.

What does sudo mean?

Hi wajed
sudo is a program that allows a regular user to temporarily elevate to root privilages.
Means SuperUserDO
You can work without by becoming root login:root password:root
It is not installed by default on any slitaz isos that I'm aware of but it's in the repo.
tazpkg search program before you configure,compile,make,make install from source.
tazpkg -usage
There are hundreds of programs already compiled packaged and the depends are auto installed.
#tazpkg recharge
#tazpkg get-install b43-fwcutter
