help: can I move CLI tools through a usb drive ?

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.

  • If the package manager on your old PC is keeping copies of everything it installs, just copy all of those packages over and go through the package manager on the new PC. Look under /var/cache
