It must be a USB attached device so please post the output from lsusb.py
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
Use the FAQ Luke

Thank you Hunter86_bg

Could you tell me how to transfer the epel packet onto a pendrive? I will try the wifi detection once more

Would I be better off using Open Suse Leap 42.3 instead of CentOS-7? Actually the makers of Gaussian16, the theoretical software I would like to use under linux recommends Open Suse Leap 42.3 for older PCs but I tried first CentOS-7.

You can browse the epel mirrors and download it.
Here is the link to my closest mirror.
Transfer via usb and then run as root :

Code: Select all

df -h 
cd /path-to-automounted-USB/
yum localinstall ./ntfs-3g-2017.3.23-11.el7.x86_64.rpm
Then mount your partition:

Code: Select all

mount -t ntfs /dev/sdXZ /mnt
Edit: keep in mind that Leap42.3 has no longer support - better check if 15.1 has support for your software.
CentOS is nice, but the learning curve is a little bit high.

Also check NDISwrapper as it allows using wifi drivers for windows to be used in a linux system.
I should admin that I have never used it.

I have checked my wifi connection as superuser using the lspci command and sent the results as attachment (wifi.txt). So now I will try my other PC that has wifi access using an Ubuntu bootable pendrive.
How to I transfer the epel (ntfs-3g) installation files to a pendrive without inadvertently onto my Ubuntu system?

Your attachment doesn't show up.

You already posted the output from lspci and you do not have any PCI attached wireless cards. Now we need to see - still - the output from the command lsusb.py

If you have GUI (Graphical user interface) on ubuntu - transfering the package will be just like windows.
If not, plug the USB , check with 'df -h' to see the mount point and then run 'cp -a ./ntfs-3g-ver.rpm /path/to/usb'.

Don't forget to run the 'lsusb.py'

Thanks I could use wired connectivity (in want of an accepted wifi connection). But if instead I go over to my other PC that can boot Ubuntu, I have wifi connection. So if I insert a pendrive into this PC how can I download onto this pendrive the epel stuff that I would carry back to my win7 PC with CentOS-7?
