Patience?...here you will see as I am

You could at least decompress the file?
Have in mind that DSL Forum is very active. That signify surely someone before wrote on forum about your same problem.
When i say you "non allocate color" message is not a problem, it was not my deduction. I inserted into the forum search engine the following words:"non AND allocate AND color"
I do make sure to search in "All Active Forums" and "From the Beginning". So the result was:

Conclusion: The message is unrelated to not being able to install MyDSL extensions. The problem is other.

If you can't install a MyDSL extension hardly you will be able to install on DSL the official versions of those tools on DSL.
It's a heartache, because perhaps you can't use MyDSL extensions due only a simple mistake
The make utility uses a set of rules written down in a Makefile to build a program from its sources.
The Makefile is a argument of the make command. The argument is not explicit because one assumes when it does make is working in the same directory where is Makefile. For example:
If the Makefile is in /home/dsl/linux then:
cd /home/dsl/linux
make
The "cd" command set the directory where ATerminal, and therefore any command that you write, is working.
If that explained above was usefull, below exactly the steps that you must follow:
1. The linux-2.4.17 kernel Source that you downloaded have a Makefile and was decompressed to /home/dsl/linux.
Then you must do:
cd /home/dsl/linux
make config
That execute a script, will do you many questions. You must respond for all the default option simply by pressing the Enter key.
You will press many times the Enter key until the program execution it finishes.
2. The driver that you downloaded have a Makefile and you must decompress it so:
(Please check if your .tar.gz file have the name "linux-wlan-ng-0.1.14-pre1", if different replace the following instance with the correct.)
cd /home/dsl
tar zxvf linux-wlan-ng-0.1.14-pre1.tar.gz
3. The file will be unzip to /home/dsl/linux-wlan-ng-0.1.14-pre1 folder (Again, please check if that folder have the name "linux-wlan-ng-0.1.14-pre1", if different replace the following instance with the correct). Then:
cd /home/dsl/linux-wlan-ng-0.1.14-pre1
make config
The following set of questions will be asked. The default answer is in braces (e.g. []). I wrote the answers for you.
- Build Prism2.x PCMCIA Card Services (_cs) driver? (y/n) [y]: n
- Build Prism2 PLX9052 based PCI (_plx) adapter driver? (y/n) [y]: n
- Build Prism2.5 native PCI (_pci) driver? (y/n) [y]: n
- Build Prism2.5 USB (_usb) driver? (y/n) [y]: y
- Linux source directory [/usr/src/linux]: /home/dsl/linux
- Alternate target install root directory on host []: Press the Enter Key
- Module install directory [/lib/modules/2.4.26]: /lib/modules/2.4.26
- Target Architecture? (i386, ppc, or alpha) [i386]: i386
- Prefix for build host compiler? (rarely needed) []: Press the Enter key
- Compiling with a cross compiler? (y/n) [n]: n
- Build for debugging (see doc/config.debug) (y/n) [n]: n
4. To build the package run command:
make all
5. To install the package run
sudo su
make install
