Is it possible to install new hardware drivers for a CD-only system? If the answer is "no" then the rest of this post is moot. Otherwise, please read on:

I found drivers for my WPC51AB and extracted them to /ramdisk/knoppix/home. Everything seems to go OK until after executing "make install" writes of three .o files are attempted to //lib/modules/2.4.21-xfs/net which, of course, is the CD. (That path is determined by the contents of the included makefile.inc file.)

Where else could these files be copied to and how does one "reboot" so the new hardware can be detected?

Thanks!
