Re: How to get packages via a Windows box
Hi...
I would suggest figuring out how to get your ethernet working...
I'm unfamiliar with pppoe... I'm assuming that's a modem thing...
but if you have DSL... get your nic working so you have some speed...
Then use your "apt-get" commands to install whatever you need. :)
