Like this, the browser doesn't download that .dep file.

Hi MaxFury
Go here:
https://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/16.x/x86_64/tcz/

Then you can  right click  and  Save Link As...  for each file you want to download.

I am wondering if it's possible that I might have run the install commands before I had all the .dep and md5 files !
Is it possible to make it install it all again now that I have all the tcz, dep and txt for sure?

If you did not have the dep files, you would install the wifi extension and nothing else.

It would be better to reboot and issue those commands again.

Hi MaxFury
Yes, just reboot and run the tce-load commands again.

Some of the files are dependencies of other extensions
and may already be installed. These come to mind:
Code: [Select]
expat2.tcz
libX11.tcz
libXau.tcz
libxcb.tcz
libXdmcp.tcz
ncursesw.tcz
and possibly a couple of others.

This confirms you have the intel wireless 8265/8275 wifi adapter

Great  :)

If you click on the icon of the screw head with a blue arrow on it and click on apps -> browse, you should see the extension repo

Did you load the firmware-iwl8000 extension first?
