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

[insomica]

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.

[insomica]

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:

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
