compiling 'make' w/o 'make' (?)

| Now that I am trying to install Debian from a CD, I found that the
network card was not supported, I read that some dude had found a
driver for the NIC in a MSI-M662 laptot, I myself don't know what kind
of NIC is in this machine, I am going by what the dude claims.
However, after downloading the alleged driver, I had to compile it,
for that I need to have 'make', but this machine does not have the
make program, after downloading it from the GNU' FTP site, I found out
that I also have to build this program using 'make'.
As you can see I am in a vicious circle, can anyone help me get out of
it.
TIA

Install the C development tools for whatever distribution you're
currently running.

GNU make comes with a shell script to compile it, for exactly this
reason. If you'd read the README file you'd have seen this.
Also, since this is Debian, you should be able to get a precompiled
package of make. Try running "apt-get install make" or "apt-get
install gmake".

I don't think he has network working, so he prolly cant make apt-get work?

apt-get will also fetch from the installation CD, which probably has
make on it.

Oh, I thought maybe the build essentials were not on the cd.
