special release???

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?

Re: special release???

Boot slitaz on a computer with internet.

[c]# tazpkg up -r[/c]

[c]# tazpkg -gi slitaz-toolchain[/c]

[c]# tazpkg -gi linux-module-headers[/c]

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.

[c]# depmod -a[/c]
