LINUX: Copying and 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.
LINUX: Driver installation and loading
Execute the 'Install' script to build the driver and to copy the driver and
firmware files to the required folder.
> cd /isi
> ./Install
