I' have a HD install of Knoppix V3.2.2 2003-4-28, but have to get yet the modem from the most imminent to work.

The modem driver is a *.tar.gz file that was donwloaded to a fat32 partition (=hda4 under Linux)

I'd like to unpack and install the driver, but am failing even to detect it under Linux (yes, it's there on a E:\).

find / -name [filename] searches, but finds nothing (*.tar.gz and similar tried, as well as ful filename) --does Knoppix/Debian2 have different syntax?? Mandrike that I tested before could find not this particular but another file.

mount /dev/hda4 /mnt/windows [have made the mkdir /mnt/windows already] --returns
mount: /dev/hda4 already mounted or /mnt/windows busy
mount: according to mtab, /dev/hda4 is already mounted on /mnt/windows

The QUESTION is simple, but has a multilevel answer, how to find/unpack the driver??

Thank you much for your help and enlightening me.
