Genkernel

I'm trying to install genkernel but I'm not exactly sure how. All I can find is how to install it with the computer online, but my computer can't get online at the moment. I downloaded the sources from a different computer and transferred them onto my laptop, but I'm not sure what the next step is. Does anyone know how to do this?

I believe the LiveCD version of the installer has a version that will install only from the cd. Is the problem that you do not have a network connection at all or that your network card does not work upon booting? If it is the second, perhaps we should try to get that working instead.

Cheers

yeah...it's just I can't get my network card to work. That's what I was working on originally, but with no success.

What is the card (give output of lspci)? Did you try the net-setup program? Is the driver loaded but are you having trouble joining a network? It is a wired network, right

?

I was able to get this out of his lspci/lspci -n

Card: Trendnet TEW-421PC Wireless CardBus Card

* Chipset: Texas Instruments ACX 111 54Mbps
* pciid: 104c:9066

Card: Trendnet TEW-423PI (version A)

* Chipset: Texas Instrument ACX 111
* pciid: 104c:9066 Windows

He said it was a Trendnet card, but unsure which model it was. I just searched on Ndiswrapper for possible cards. I am unsure which method to use to get his wireless card working though.
