Hi all

I have an unusual request.
I have here a DSE USB / wireless, it appears to be a ralink 2570 as detected 
by usbmgr under 2 different distrib. So I guess the info is reliable.

Now the driver .... I have it as a debian package, and because it depends on 
some other deb packages the all thing does not install on my Damn small 
Linux, reason being that fileutils is not present.
Installing it and I have a conflict with chgrp from coreutils.

Compiling the source ??? I run into various problems beacause dsl is too 
light.

The only debian distribution I have is on this laptop / DSL and  package is 
for all debian distr.

Questions are : 

The esasiest would be to force dpkg to install fileutils but is it safe  (re 
chgrp)? and is it possible ? 

or the real cowboy job :

Can someone extract the modules for me and send them to me so I can place them 
in the appropriate folders ? [ouch that is ugly]

Thanks a lot
E
