Package Installation Question

[kinslayer]

I've been looking through the Wiki and searching around here but haven't found an answer yet.

I installed Salix on my netbook, using the base install. I need Wicd to connect to the net via wireless, however Wicd is not installed in the base system.

I know I can hook a cat5 cable up and connect and install it that way, but is there a way to install using slapt-get via my installation medium?

If this has already been asked/answered, I apologize, I have been looking as I said, just haven't gotten any results yet.

Have a look at the file /etc/slapt-get/slapt-getrc. You'll find the lines:

# Packages on a CD/DVD.
# SOURCE=file:///mnt/cdrom/:OFFICIAL

Uncomment the SOURCE line (probably you have to change the path to where you CD actually is mounted), run slapt-get -u and now it should work.

You can also read the README file inside the installation CD.
