Hi, I am very new to linux and am in the process of trying to get my alcatel modem working so i can browse the web.

At this point I should probably tell you I am using the live cd of knoppix version 3.4,

I have copied and extracted the file:

speedtouchconf-19-06-2004.tar.gz

into my home directory, I have the copied the file :

mgmt.o

into the created directory speedtouchconf-19-06-2004.

I have then opened a shell window, changed from user to root with su command, then run :

sh speedtouchconf-19-06-2004.sh

I have then answered all the questions and away the installation goes, that is UNTIL !!!

/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file `/usr/local/sbin/modem_run :
Read only file system



I have tried changing the file permission with

Root@TTYP1[local]# chmod a+w sbin

to which it says something along the lines of

changing user permissions of the file sbin : Read only file system



Getting very frustrating, I hope someone can help me with this problem I am pulling my hair out and cant find any info apart from the usual how to install $%& that I've been following.

Thanks for reading this massive problem

Arran
