(NOTE: With the various distributions of Linux available today, the ‘look and feel’ of their 
interfaces may vary from one version to the next.  However, the general command set used in 
the terminal application is very similar and can be referenced in the Linux instructions that 
follow.  The screenshot examples in this section were created in a Linux CentOS v6.x 
environment.) 

 

 

 

 

 

Insert the DT4000 into an available USB port on your

For 32-bit users, open a “Terminal” application window and change the current directory to 
/media/DT4000/linux/linux32$ by typing the following command at the prompt: 
 
 

 

cd /media/DT4000/linux/linux32 (and then press 

.) 

 
 
For 64-bit users, open a “Terminal” application window and change the current directory to 
/media/DT4000/linux/linux64$ by typing the following command at the prompt:

*Note: If the DT4000 volume is not loaded automatically by the operating system, you will need 
to load the volume manually in a terminal window using the Linux ‘mount’ command. Please 
refer to the Linux documentation for your specific OS distribution or favorite on-line support site 
for proper syntax and command options.
