Lets suppose you just got your brand new 3G stick and you want to install Sakis3G script and all its dependencies. However, the only available connection method is that 3G stick. Don't panic: All you need is a USB Disk, or CD-RW, or any other disk media (e.g. OBEX enabled bluetooth phone).
Sakis3G: All-in-one script
My 1st trick to share with readers: Sakis3G. A shell script that can make your 3G connection work without setting up anything. It touches nothing on your system, while giving you a fully functional connection. It even handles PIN unlocking your SIM if required. Forget setting up wvdial, pppd, udev, hal, usb_modeswitch. No installation required. Although being a shell script, it also provides graphical interface for connecting. Download and execute.
