help with installing modem drivers (commands)
Extract the files using
tar -zxvf ltmodem - 8.26a9.tar.gz
Change to the directory just created
cd ltmodem - 8.26a9
Extract source files necessary to installation
tar zxvf source.tar.gz // I got to here but I don't know how to do the rest... can you help me?
Build the kernel modules
./build_module
Install the modules using
./source/ltinst2
Setup the modules to load automatically using
./utils/lt_autoload
Verify that the configuration is correct using
./utils/lt_checkout

You would enter those commands in the ltmodem directory in a console window type them in exactly as they are to build and install the modules. You may also want to read the 1ST-READ file in the docs directory that was created there is a list of unsupported modems and at the bottom of the file instructions for a .build_deb so you can make a debian package to install from.

okay i everything went okay but wheni verify the configuration it says "an essential driver has not been installed" i think it was lt_modem.o and now when i query the modem it says the modem is busy...

Build_rpm and build_deb
------------------------------------------------------
Once you have confirmed functionality, a final
step is to properly register the software, to gaurantee easy
upgrade and/or removal with your particular Linux
distributions package management tools. For distributions
using a rpm package maintenance system. This is aided by
the command:
# ./build_rpm
which if System requirements are met, will output a
ltmodem-version.rpm
The whole installation will then be redone with the command
# rpm -i version.rpm
but this time, WITH Proper Registration of the package.
A report of a typeical ./build_rpm run is in DOCs/
#################################################
#i know i show do this b.c knoppix is based on debian.... so does it mean i should change ./build_module
#with ./build_deb? i dont know when to do dpkg -i ltmodem-version.deb....
#if not when should i do theses 2 steps...
###############################################
Similarly, it your Linux distribution utilizes Debian style
package maintenance. Construct an installer with:
$ ./build_deb
and run the installation with:
$ dpkg -i ltmodem-version.deb
and what is apt-get on Debian?
should i use one of these insted of ltmodem-8.26a9.tar.gz
and if so what one?
ltmodem-2.4.20-1-386_8.26a9_i386.deb
ltmodem-2.4.20-1-686_8.26a9_i386.deb
ltmodem-2.4.20-1-k6_8.26a9_i386.deb
ltmodem-2.4.20-1-k7-smp_8.26a9_i386.deb
ltmodem-2.4.20-1-k7_8.26a9_i386.deb
ltmodem-2.4.20-speakup_8.26a9_i386.deb
ltmodem-2.4.20_8.26a9_i386.deb

i tried "dpkg -i ltmodem-2.4.20_8.26a9_i386.deb" and it said Status area: Read only file system.
is there a way i can install the driver without having to install knoppix on my hdd?
so is there anything i can do?
