hello :))

I have problems with the WiFi adapter on my new pc, and in order to troubleshoot I need to use some utils that are not on already on the computer.

is it possible to just copy the binaries from a computer with internet connection onto a usb drive and move them over that way ?

And in that case, how do I make sure to also copy all the dependencies ?

or is there a smarter way do to it all together ? 😅

I hope this is the right community for this question :)) I couldn’t find any community specifically for Linux tech support.

    In general, no. Better way is to download packages with that tools from your distro repository, transfer them via flash key and install. You also have to download dependencies, but CLI tools usually have few of them and there are good chances they are already installed.
