LINUX: Copying and untarring the driver from CD-ROM

1. Mount the CD-ROM using this command:

mount /mnt/cdrom

2. Change directory

cd /mnt/cdrom

3. List the files on the CD-ROM and locate the directory for the kernel

in use (2.0 or 2.2/2.4), using this command

4. Untar the appropriate Linux driver using this command:
>

tar vxf

{filename}

/tmp

At this writing, the filename will be either L300_20X.TAR or

L305_22X_24X.TAR.

LINUX: Copying and untarring the driver from a floppy

The ISI driver .tar file can be copied from a DOS formatted floppy using

the 'mcopy' command if the 'mtools' have been installed. Issue 'mcopy

a:isilinux.tar <destination folder>' to copy the isilinux.tar ( or current

driver name) file to the destination folder. As an alternative, the floppy

can be manually mounted and the file copied to the required

destination folder.

NOTE: To read from a DOS formatted floppy, a kernel with support for the

FAT file system (either statically linked in the kernel or as modules) is

required.

Steps for copying the driver from a floppy:

1. Linux floppy disks are in ext2 format.
2. Insert Linux driver in drive A: and mount floppy drive.

> mount /dev/fd0

> mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
