Thanks for that information, ^thehatsrule^. I'll try now to use my flash drive to store the necessary extensions.
I don't ask you to comment on this (at least, not yet!), but I had another idea about compiling the driver. I can run DSL on my regular computer from the live cd. That computer has 512MB of RAM. I wondered whether, while running DSL that way, I could mount some storage facility, say, the very USB flash drive from which I can run DSL on my little computer, then install the necessary extensions and driver source on the ramdisk on my big computer on which I'm running DSL, compile the driver on the ramdisk and then save it to the USB drive. If that's possible, then I wouldn't have to worry about the limitations on compiling imposed by the little computer's specifications.
Thanks again,
Leslie
