Can I iso-bust Puppy Live CD 5.1.1. to slipstream in a linux flavor of my wifi driver?
All searches for slipstream bring up XP, but will look harder if this is possible. Puppy Live CD boots and even finds my LAN, but when I supply WEP key it won't connect. I noticed the Puppy driver for my device seems to be 802.11n, but my router is 802.11g, and my wifi card supports either. So I downloaded a Linux driver for it, but then could not figure out how to get to it or install it once inside Puppy. Hence... the slipstream query. Thanks and sorry for my newbiness and not being able to find this answer.
Acer Aspire 4530
AMD 64-bit processor

One VERY BRIEF Question
LOL and thanks for the welcome. 
I am completely inept, having used Linux for all of a few hours.
I have one more very stupid question that I spent at least 45 min Googling in vain... what does the square icon mean in the system tray, that is next to the clock display? It starts off gray and sometimes becomes red? At first I thought it was a traffic display, then a temp indicator... All the other icons have a balloon on the mouseover, so I know I must be especially thick to not be able to figure this one out!!

It's a pretty [useless] distraction.rian wrote:what does the square icon mean in the system tray, that is next to the clock display? It starts off gray and sometimes becomes red?
It's a measure of your expectations of the CPU. 
Or not, depending how you want to state it. Here, read for yourself: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=28483Enjoy!
Thanks so much, Shep! I've got a lot of learnin' to do!
I have a question about that little gizmo and what happened to my Puppy yesterday, so wiill start a new appropriately-named thread, now that I know what it's called! (And I also learned it's not a "system tray" either!)
Have to learn Puppy-speak!
