i need to compile wireless card drivers, and would like to know how to install gcc from cdrom (can't apt-get from internet without wireless configured).

thx

gcc should be in the < myDSL repository >
, just add it to your ISO (should be plenty of posts around on how to do this), I haven't really used it, but I'm guessing it would be a good idea to also grab the gnu-utils.dsl and dsl-dpkg.dsl packages and install them first.

sry i didn't even post minimal system info:
thinkpad 600
trendnet (acx111) tew-421pc (wireless)
hd install

woot there it is!!

well i think i got stuff installed... err... i burned it to cd and then just double-clicked the *.dsl files using Emelfm and it appears to have done the trick...

that was so easy i'm rather embarrased :s PROBLEM SOLVED

i get intelligent feedback now from
gcc --version
make --version
etc...

i also installed the recommended packages above, thx again...

thx
