I found a Linux driver for my Linksys wireless usb adapter. Can someone give me a step by step on unzipping the GZ file into a folder and then correctly installing the driver.Many Thanks PS the GZdriver file is on a floppy.

Thanks---I got sidetracked from this project. Is there a way that I can get the commands MAKE, MAKE ALL, and MAKE INSTALL to work in DSL

DSL have not by defect the background to compile the source.
You need install at least gcc1.dsl MyDSL.

Please read this post, very important:

I compiled from sources and installed my first driver (dial-up modem) on DSL some days ago, perhaps i can help you.
If you want learn this is the opportunity, but if you want save from many problems Ethernet (instead USB) is the better option.

I want to learn but I am a novice. For example where do I find gcc1.dsl ? Also i find configure files etc that contain lines that need to be changed for my purposes but i cannot change because of permissions,system files,keep etc. I am aware of sudo su but at times that doesnt work. Who would know of a command that would give me carte blanche changes to the system. If it crashes so what Ill start over.
