Still doesn't work. GRRRRR! This is exactly what I see as the path to the file.The reasion there is not equivelent to c:\ is that Linux uses one big file system. Drives are files. They can be mounted almost anyware. With Mandrake, C:\ is usualy mounted on /mnt/windows, but it doesn't have to be.
root
mnt
windows
temp
scanModem.gz
I tried in super user mode and logged on as root. It still won't work. Maybe I should rename the file frustration.xxx:>) I will probably have bought a new external modem before I get this thing to work. I did remember to caps the m as in Modem. The error is still no such file. Is it possible I need to add the linux equivalent to c:/? If so, what is it? It seems to be the only thing missing from a dos equivalent of the same commands.
Now, your file should be, from the information you have given me, at
/mnt/windows/temp with a file name of scanModem.gz. I think the problem you are running into is that the file name is not exactly what you told us it was before. Under Linux, scanmodem.gz in NOT the same file as scanModem.gz. So, instead of using:
cp /mnt/windows/temp/scanmodem.gz scanmodem.gz
use
cp /mnt/windows/temp/scanModem.gz scanmodem.gz
The difference is the capital M in the file name. A small thing, but an important one. (Just like the difference between \ for DOS/Windows and / for Linux in path names, or the way : and ; are used. The funny part is that the UNIX usage is older, but people from the DOS/Windows world have to learn a "new" way of doing things...)
