I need Ndiswrapper. This is very small and very useful software. I ask for Ndiswrapper in next releases of DSL. This is very important for me.

I agree. I just picked up a nice Averatec 3225 laptop last weekend, and DSL runs great on it, except for the wireless, which won't work under linux without ndiswrapper, apparently. Is there any way to run it from a live cd without having to do a complete remaster? From what I've read online, it appears to require a kernal recompile, and I dont think my linux skills are up for it...

Wow!!!!  I didnt know that something like this existed....if you check there is a debian and RPM packages pre-built and can either be made into a .dsl or added on with the update program on a harddrive install I do believe...but I think this would be an incredibly invaluable addon (as long as it isnt toooo big, if it is then a .dsl is the awnser)

It's about 100K, I believe, and only about 70 compressed.

DSL is perfect for my laptop (pretty much the only distro that'll run well on a 200mhz P1 with 2gb drive) except that it needs ndiswrapper. Please please please! It would make DSL a way more useful/universal distro.

Even just a precompiled tar.gz that we can use in a hard-drive install. That shouldn't take more than 10 min of your time (yeah right....)
