You would have to make a custom image.
I hope once Orchid releases you will be able to install a local image from a USB stick.

so does abroot not support install local driver packages post install? or are we talking about the live installer?

I mean the problem is that you need internet to use the vanilla-installer and abroot.
If you have some other way of getting internet then you're fine.

i have a little wifi adapter
If you know the model you can check to see if it works by default in Debian or Ubuntu, and that would give you your answer.

yeah its not
thats unfortunate
