Code Sample
mkdosfs -I /dev/sda
(it's a capital "i")
Then I copied the distro on the stick and did:
Code Sample
syslinux /dev/sda


Maybe you've got to change minirt24.gz. I had to replace all sda1 through sda in .linuxrc.

What wlan have you got?
pcmcia, usb, centrino-wlan? Chip (e.g. prism2, atheros)?

Didn't try to run centrino-wlan on my working machine. But at home it works properly (usb-wlan,  Netgear MA111(prism2-chip)) with my crappy Elitegroup Desknote:
- I go to /etc/wlan change wlancfg-DEFAULT to wlancfg-<mySSID>
- add my SSID in wlan.conf
- set up resolv.conf with the correct ip (access point IP)
- start a script that I made to get my wlan finally started:
Code Sample
#!/bin/sh
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_ifstate ifstate=enable
wlanctl-ng wlan0 lnxreq_autojoin ssid=<mySSID> authtype=opensystem
ifconfig wlan0 <computer's IP> netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast <IP>
route add default gw <access point IP>
This script regards connections without WEP (don't think my granny neighbours gonna wardive my wifi or some kids gonna cruise through our hillbilly village :D ). But I'm also too lazy to set up with WEP, which doesn't protect anyway.

I try to use the centrino card in the notebook, don´t have any other and don´t wont any other.

iam found this ipw2200.sourceforge.net and now i dont belive that any current live-cd works with my card and will try to create my own distribution based on DSL with driver inside.  :lol: it´s a choke, don´t know how to do this, but its a great idea :)
