LINUX-RPM: Copying the driver from a floppy
The ISI driver .rpm file can be copied from a DOS formatted floppy
using the 'mcopy' command if the 'mtools' have been installed.
For RPM version 6.2, issue the command
'mcopy a:isicom-1.1-3.src.rpm <destination
folder>' to copy the isicom-1.1-3.src.rpm ( or current driver name)
file to the destination folder.
For RPM version 7.0, issue the command
'mcopy a:isicom-1.2-3.src.rpm <destination
folder>' to copy the isicom-1.2-3.src.rpm ( 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
4. The current isicom.o file should be backed up before installing the
RPM. The easiest way is simply to rename it or copy it into another
file. For example, cp (or mv) isicom.o isicom.original.
It is usually located in the /usr/local/ISICOM directory. For the
version 7 RPM, you will need to use the --force option in the RPM
command as in step 5b below.
