Hi all! I have a usb modem HUAWEI 1550, a netbook and TCL3.3. How can I setup internet with 3G usb modem while i dont have internet at all?
-
I believe you're going to have to download the necessary extensions using a friend's Internet connection or similar.
If you search these forums, I recall there were several threads about 3g modems and how to configure them
-
can I download these extensions from other computer with Windows?

Yes, from here: http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/tinycorelinux/tcz_3x.html (http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/tinycorelinux/tcz_3x.html)

BTW: Is there a reason why in this table all files (info, list, md5, dep) have active links but not the application (.tcz) itself?

There is a script to download and setup a tce directory that will handle dependencies and the onboot.lst file from either Windows or another Linux distro. Windows requires Cygwin installed to use the script, as well as either an ext2 or FAT filesystem as TC does not support NTFS for it's tce directory.

To be used for those who want to set up a graphical environment to setup wireless or whatever to achieve net access.

Aha, thanks for the instruction.

Well, I downloaded
pppsetup.tcz
pppd.tcz
bash.tcz
dialog.tcz
and installed them in TCL. What`s next?...

Download all .dep files, and all extensions listed in .dep files. Download all md5.txt files.
Copy and paste them all to /mnt/sda1/tce/optional. Change sda1 to the appropriate partition.
Include pppsetup.tcz in On Boot.
Run pppsetup.
Refer to links mentioned above, for additional modifications.

Copy and paste them all to /mnt/sda1/tce/optional. Change sda1 to whatever partition you have Tiny Core installed in.
The only thing that really matters here is putting the tce dir in the root of either a fat or ext2 partition. It does *not* have to be on the same partition as tinycore.
