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....)

Actually, that was my question to begin with. What would be required to get ndiswrapper installed on a DSL system? It looks like it would require an HD install and a custom kernel compilation.

(Thought I dont know about 0.8, since I'm using 0.7.3)

Anybody know any more?

Well, I assume you'd need a full development environment, which won't fetch on apt-get on DSL... also the kernel source, and a full kernel compile (would take like 10hr on my laptop) but searching this forum I found something about being able to compile modules on a version of Knoppix with the same kernel. You could probably drop them in and they would work? But only with a HD install, I bet.

My desktop machine is packed (just moved) but when I get it out, i'll give it a shot

Just use Knoppix 3.4 to compile ndiswrapper and copy it over - I think...

damn, I guess that means that the knoppix iso i downloaded (i think it's the one that matches 0.7.x) is the wrong one for 0.8.

I only have access to a very slow wired connection so it looks like i'm out of luck unless someone else compiles the module.

Specifically, it was mentioned that the version of knoppix that you are looking for is version 3.4 5-17-2004
