add modem drivers

[Leoslocks]

I am running Mandrake 7.2 on Pri master. I have the lucent modem files on Sec master mounted as Hdc1. The instructions go like this:
"To install the Lucent modem driver in LINUX, you need to run
the install script "./ltinst" from the command prompt."

My results look something like this:
user@localhost/root ./ltinst
command not found or unknown command
user@localhost/root

I don't even know DOS so Linux and the whole command prompt thing is greek to me

I guess the executable flag isn't set on the file:
chmod u+x ./ltinst
should do the trick.

or:
cd /hdc1/whateverdirtheltinstisin
then
./ltinst

Hope it helps

Thanks don, I'll try to learn the
Greek you proposed and see what happens. I'll let you know how I progress.

OK, here is where I am.

I open a terminal and try to navigate to the drive with the file I need. The location and/or directory is missing or empty.
???????
I have tried to mount the drive again (hdc1) via Drax conf. It shows the drive but when I try to navigate to it through a terminal or gui there is nothing in it?

Any basic stuff I need to try?

demian I tried the chmod u+x ./ltinst command but got a "missing parameter" statement.

Login as root or su root.

Open a terminal window.

mkdir /mnt/temp
mount /dev/hdc1 /mnt/tmp
cd /mnt/temp
ls -al

If you still can't see your file then you might need to consider what sort of file system is on hdc1 (ie... vfat, Ext2) and wether you have support for the said file system compiled into the kernel, or the right modules compiled and loaded. If its mandrake, then you should, unless you have recompiled the kernel yourself.

If you can see your file but it won't execute, then cut and paste the results of

ls -al

here.

OK, this is how slow I am learning. First off, I have to boot the Linux HD, mount the second drive (hdc1), try to get something to work and then make the text file and save it to the hdc1 drive.

I get tickled pink every time something works. I even installed a program that works (Compupic 5.1).

This is what I get when trying to install the modem info.
Any gentle nudges in the right direction would be appreciated.
