config knoppix.sh (on a floppy) to load modem drivers....

how would i config knoppix.sh (on a floppy)to laod ltmodemdrivers.deb on boot?

will it even work?

i ask this b/c i tried to install them after knoppix fully laoded and it said it could not write to a read only file system. go figure... :P

Where is that ltmodemdrivers.deb from? Do you mean http://www.heby.de/ltmodem? You could try to install them on a Knoppix HD install. Or you could unpack the .deb into your home directory with unp and then try to insmod them. Let us know if it works.

how do you unp and insmod them?

is there anyway i can tell if the modem will work without really dialing out?

and yes the debian modem drivers from that site.

Since I don't have this modem here right now, I couldn't actually test what I propose. Open a console and try:

Code:

---

sudo su
cd ~
wget http://www.sfu.ca/~cth/ltmodem/dists....26a9_i386.deb
unp ltmodem-2.4.20_8.26a9_i386.deb
unp data.tar.gz
insmod -f /home/root/lib/modules/2.4.20/ltmodem/lt_modem.o
insmod -f /home/root/lib/modules/2.4.20/ltmodem/lt_serial.o

---

The documentation then is in
/home/root/usr/share/doc/ltmodem-2.4.20/DOCs
The utilities mentioned are in
/home/root/usr/share/doc/ltmodem-2.4.20/utils

Dudes,

I am loading the drivers successfully from hda1(a FAT32 win partition), having partly compiled them - here is the script:
-------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
chmod 777 /var/log/syslog
chmod 777 /var/log/messages
cd /mnt/hda1/knoppix #this is where I keep the compiled modules
mknod /dev/ttyLT0 c 62 64
chmod a+rw /dev/ttyLT0
ln -sf /dev/ttyLT0 /dev/modem
insmod -f lt_modem.o
insmod -f lt_serial.o
---------------------------------------------------------
and here is the topic I got it from:

I'm going to remaster and try to include this, but I'm a newbie and will probably fail
