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.

uh, ok.
When I use this linke http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/wifi.tcz.dep
to download the file, it just says "wpa_supplicant-dbus.tcz" in the webpage it retrieves.
Are tehg .dep files something I need? If so, how do I download them?  and the do I need the md5 txts?

The contents of http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/wifi.tcz.dep should be wpa_supplicant-dbus.tcz

Yes, the *dep files are needed and yes the *md5.txt files are needed.

I get it, but if I try put this link into the browser, the browser prints that string.

As said, you need all of the wifi extensions and the firmware extension.

First you will need to determine what wifi hardware you have. Download the following:

http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/libpci.tcz
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/libpci.tcz.md5.txt
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/pciutils.tcz
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/pciutils.tcz.dep
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/pciutils.tcz.md5.txt
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/hwdata.tcz
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/hwdata.tcz.md5.txt
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/libusb.tcz
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/libusb.tcz.dep
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/libusb.tcz.md5.txt
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/udev-lib.tcz
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/udev-lib.tcz.md5.txt
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/usbutils.tcz
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/usbutils.tcz.dep
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/usbutils.tcz.md5.txt

Copy them to a usb stick and then from the usb stick to your netbook.

From the directory you copied them to enter these commands:

Code: [Select]

tce-load -i pciutils usbutils
lspci
lsusb
..and report back with the wifi details shown by the lspci or lsusb commands

Ok, I am getting some good readings, but I cant photograh the screen as the texts are too fine.
Is there a way to get a screenshot tool of some sort so I can screenshot the output?

-thanks
