I made a minimal Ubuntu install using debootstrap. I accomplished this by creating a new partition, debootstraping in it, and then chrooting into it to apt-get necessary packages. But I have a problem. I can't get internet access to work. I have a wireless G USB adapter (WUSB54GC) and the linux-generic metapackage comes with the necessary driver(s) (rt73usb). I just don't know how to get them to start.
It sounds a little complicated but I could really use some help.
Here's a link to my thread in the Ubuntu forums.
