Software/Driver Installation (Linux)

MultiModemISI Hybrid Server Cards, ISIHP & ISIHI Series 65

3. List the files on the CD-ROM and locate the directory for the kernel

in use (2.0 or 2.2/2.4), using this command

4. Untar the appropriate Linux driver using this command:

> tar vxf

{filename}

/isi

At this writing, the filename will be either L300_20X.tar (for 2.0

kernel) or L305_22X_24X.TAR (for 2.2/2.4 kernel).

LINUX: Copying & untarring the driver from a floppy

The ISI driver .tar file can be copied from a DOS formatted floppy

using the 'mcopy' command if the 'mtools' have been installed. Issue

'mcopy a:isilinux.tar <destination folder>' to

copy the isilinux.tar ( or current driver name) file to the destination

folder. As an alternative, the floppy can be manually mounted and the

file copied to the required destination folder.

NOTE: To read from a DOS formatted floppy, a kernel with support for the

FAT file system (either statically linked in the kernel or as modules) is

required.

Steps for copying the driver from a floppy:

1. Linux floppy disks are in ext2 format.

2. Insert Linux driver in drive A: and mount floppy drive.

> mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy

3. Copy files from floppy to a temporary directory on hard drive.

> mkdir /isi

> cd /isi

> cp /mnt/floppy/kernel_2.2.x/* /isi

After you have copied the installation tar file to a folder, use the

command 'tar xvf isilinux.tar' to untar (unzip or de-

compress) the installation files in that folder.
