Is the usb install method suitable for wireless network for HTTP connecting?
 
I want to install Slackware 13.37 to my notebook.
Because my cdrom isn't work, I want to use usb stick to do it.
But I have only wireless network.
My wireless card is Intel 3945.
I don't know if this method supports wireless network.
Is somebody know the answer?
Thanks!

Sorry, there is no wireless support in the Slackware installer.

A way of doing it is saving the iso file on your notebook's hard disk, then mount it as a loop device see http://slackware.com/faq/do_faq.php?faq=installation#1.

Or, you can save the entire /slackware directory of a mirror on your notebook's hard disk and tell the installer where it is.

Or, if your USB stick is big enough, put that directory on it.
