But it's not got the thing you're talking about where you can boot from it.
It's just my portable file cabnet.

If you are vaugely familiar with the Linux operating system, you can boot most any computer from your USB drive and have all your programs on it and the desktop set up the way you like it. This does not disturb the host computer or its data in any way. So, you can use this to make any computer your own. Quite a nifty advance in technnology.

If Damn small linux wern't so damn hard to configure to use my laptops wifi card i'd be tempted to install it on that.

I like dsl.
It's perfect for someone with an older pc who just wants, e-mail, web, word processing & doesn't know the difference between windows & linux.

I heard a rumer someone got my wifi to work but they had to use files from the windows driver.

To be honest I gave up after 30 mins. , rebooted in windows & searched for a wi-fi card that is natively supported by Linux.

May be what I need for my D-link card.

You are refering to the ndiswrapper project, which enables the use of manufacturers windows drivers in linux.

Yes! Exactly! Please let me know if you get this to work because I sure as hell can't. I have a POS laptop at my office with no LAN port but it does have a wireless card.

What is the make/model of the wireless card you are attempting to get working?

[stuntduood]

odessan82 how about writing a tutorial for getting DSL on a flash thumb drive, or maybe some links of some sort. Let's try and get some more info like this in the Tech Talk thread.

[Goodwin]

I don't have a flash drive big enough to do it yet, but here is the DSL web site.

That card should be fully supported by the prism54 drivers, unless its the newer version of the card which has an atheros chipset. Where exactly are you running into the problem getting it setup?

[amusaasyday]

My d-link 630 uses the atheros chipset & this is supposed to work with linux.
But same with odessan.
I played with it & havn't touched it since.

Maybe i'll put my wire lan card & wireless card in at the same time so I can DL driver's.

Linux has come a long way though.
Back in the Redhat 4 days it took a week of editing config files to get a system that could play audio & not burn out my monitor. :lol:

sadly after I started working in a windows evironment I had to let it go due to time. I've recently started playing with it again & i'm really impressed with hardware recognition & Nvidia & ATI coming on board with driver's.
