i found that madwifi has the ati driver i need and the nvidia driver that i will need when i get a new card. now my question is this: can i modify the iso file on my computer before burning the disk. kinda like dreamlinux. i have tried dream linux out and i like the ability to change the iso before burning, and can i do that with debian and add things like madwifi so i dont have to bother trying to find an ethernet cord and connect it to my router. would i just add the tar.gz file to the iso file or would i have to install the drivers when the OS is completely installed?
