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

ls

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
