Hi
I'm a complete noob to Linux and finding it quite hard to get me head round it.
I have been unable to get my modem to work Intel 536, found the drivers for Linux but find the install hard to follow.
1. login as ROOT
2. extract the archive into a directory with "tar -zxvf <archivename>.tgz"
3. cd into the directory it created.
4. Type: make clean
5. Type: make 536
6. Type: make install
login to root, does it meen open root shell?
How do you extract into this directory
I've tried several things but crashed the system .
Any help would be appreciated before I give up and go back to XP!!
Thanks
Bill
