baby steps required for a windiot
Man I have tried many things and my greatest success has been that I have a
debian 2.6.6 (I think!) that I booted with a net boot install CD which
immediately configured networking and finished off by calling in a bunch of
stuff over FTP. I used a wired card for it (it is a laptop).
I thought I was good but in following a how-to to get and install drivers
for my DLINK (acx_100) wireless network card - It seems to me my directory
structures don't match what the how-to's indicate.
Can I have a short list of baby steps to verify what kernel; if it's fully
installed; and what or why it doesn't match what the how-to's indicate. How
can I take stock so to speak. In future I would like to learn how to make
it run a bit faster cause it is a tad slow gui-wise.
Once I get wireles configured, I can be browsing on the machine instead of
browsing for info on another machine and then going to it to try and suss
things out on the linux laptop.
Thanks
