Hi,

I have installed 8.10 Server amd64. I need to build a device driver for the wireless network USB device. I therefore do not yet have network support. But the install does not include gcc. Is there documentation on how to download onto a USB mem stick on another machine then install from there?

Thx.

David

You should be able to install it from the ubuntu cd. Put the cd in the cdrom and in the terminal type

sudo apt-cdrom add

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install build-essential

Or you may be able to install it thru the sysnaptic package. I shows up in my package list as an ubuntu distro, and installed (though optional)!
