Help installing ndisgtk on Linpus Lite...?
hi everyone
im completely new to linux so apologies if this is a stupid question :/ i am trying to install ndisgtk and finding it impossible ( i have no idea what im doing ) :( i am aware that ndisgtk is the GUI version of ndiswrapper which is why i chose to download it as im not familiar with the terminal/commands. i have the file ndisgtk-0.8.3.tar.gz on a floppy disk...heres where im stuck...how/where do i copy the file to? how do i unzip it? ...im confused :( i tried to get the ndisg file onto synaptic package manager but no luck any help would be appreciated thanks |
copy the file to your home directory
then cd to where you copied the file Code:
tar -xvzf ndisgtk-0.8.3.tar.gz In general it is Code:
./configure |
...ok i copied the file to my home directory and tar -xvzf ndisgtk-0.8.3.tar.gz which unzipped the file but there is no readme ans files?? i tried the ./configure and got this bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
:/ |
what files do you see in the directory ?

Hi Repo
...i couldnt find any notes on ndistgk..as i said before im new to linux ...so i ended up installing ndiswrapper (found a friendly step by step guide) not sure how but i managed to install the drivers for my wireless card (the reason i needed ndis in the first place) Drivers installed fine...card was recognized it said "connected" but when i tried browsing i got the "no server found" error so was stuck for a while...EVENTUALLY after some trial and error got it working :) So all is working except....my connection wont automatically start when i start up (even though i have ticked the "auto start on boot") this is not that bigger issue...i can live with it. So i was happy for a short while heh...but now my ff keeps crashing...ive tried a few things but it still crashes :/ so ive given up heh....i might give puppy a go...we'll see anyways thanks for your help Repo :) |
