Dear friends at grml,
Please forgive the need for something quick, but I have no wired connexion here and need some help.
I have have downloaded, I think, the .debs for the broadcom sta driver to my home folder.
I need to install grml, after two years, because I did something stupid.
Fortunately, my home directory in on separate partition, so how do I: a: install grml while keeping that partition as home? (Had I the internet more than a few minutes a day I could google this stuff...sorry.) b. include the sta drivers as part of the installation. Last time I simply used ndiswrapper, but that was a while ago. If that still works, then I can go that route, but I cannot remember offhand if I can do a complete GRML install and not need a wire ever. c. I am presuming the nvidia drivers still work with grml, and there is not a kernel version that borks that. I inadvertently installed something without really reading it(yes, you make attack my stupidity, I deserve it).
I need, as I work in the arts, the very latest flash viewers and so on, but one of the updates to squeeze needed udev which needed a kernel, so instead of thinking, I am now in Panama with no real laptop.
Any help to get me into gnome with all my apps via sta, with 3d working would mean a lot.
I am supposing that sta is not included on the cd, and, no, ubuntu is not for me, thanks anyway.
Thanks again to all of you,
Martin
