(net-tools was already intalled)

    9  iwconfig wlan0 essid pannda1
   10  ifconfig wlan0 up
   11  apt-cache search rt73

I need rt73 firmware and it doesn't seem to be on the CD.

   30  set -o vi
   31  su -c 'dpkg -i rcs_5.7-23_i386.deb'
   32  mkdir RCS
   33  ls -A
   34  head .bash_logout 
   35  grep gpm dpkg.lenny_as-installed
   37  mount /media/cdrom0
   38  su -c 'apt-get install gpm'

gpm is not on the CD

   43  su -c 'dpkg -i rt73-common_1.0.3.6-cvs20080623-dfsg1-3_all.deb rt73-modules-2.6-686_2.6.26-3+lenny1_i386.deb firmware-ralink_0.14+lenny2_all.deb'

The modules didn't install, but the firmware did, and that turns out to
be all I need.

When I execute 'startx &' ps shows everything running, but there is no
display.
