detect/unpack file on vfat partition

[Stephen]

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 returns (something like) that access is not possible [have made the /mnt/windows dir already]

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

Thank you much for your help and enlightening me.

Try mount /dev/hda5 /mnt/windows you are trying to mount the extended partition itself not the logical drive like you should be doing.
