I have mandrake 9.2, p4 1024mb ram, WinFast A180 DDR. I also have a Winmodem installed which is not recognised by Mandrake. I downloaded a TAR driver. How do I install?
With any tatball the procedure is:
1. Open a terminal. 2. Change directory to where the tarball is e.g.
cd downloads/packages
3. Unpack the tarball
tar -xvf winmodem.tar
(change to the name of your package)
or if it's zipped:
tar -xvf winmodem.tar.gz
4. This will probably create a new directory, so cd into that and look for a fill called README, INSTALL or something. Type
less README
and see what it says. You should find instructions to procede further.
5. Nine times out of ten, the next stage is to type (as root)
configure make make install
Hope this helps,
Sir Robin
