Setting Up Printer And Dsl

[bulio]

hi ppl, I have recently download knoppix and use it as a boot disc for places where I dont have linux installed. I need some help here though. I have an efficient networks speedStream 5200 dsl modem with a usb connection to my computer. How can I set this up in knoppix? I tried the dsl setup utility but it says "no network card detected" and How do i get my hp deskjet 648c configured? I tried the printer config but don't know how to get it running (how do I load drivers from my hd because This is a boot cd) thx ppl

The windows drivers won't work in linux.

You will have to mount the hd, then load them with /sbin/modprobe (they are modules, right?)

first i need to find the drivers for the speedstream 5200 usb modem from efficcient networkds, then load the drivers via a mount (knoppix automatically mounts your windows hdd so you can browse and modify files, B)

btw, I knew she was joking

@bulio --The fact that your trying to use a Live CD at school or at work is even worse.

You can&#39;t save anything with a live cd unless you have a usb key or some other portable storage device which I doubt any admin would allow on their network.

Try Driverguide for your Linux drivers you want or go to the manufacture&#39;s website.

@ LSA --yeah you think their cools. Let me guess..................you never really installed Linux before have you? You been using a Live cd all this time I&#39;ll bet. :-"

And IMO, Windows can do a lot more than what most people would actually use a Live cd for anyway............besides firewalling. [/B]

Someone here has the same problem

-------------------

Google Groups Search: speedstream 5200 linux

You can probably find some stuff in there.

Have you found the drivers yet?

-------------------

@shn - Ok ok ok...I confess....

[bulio]

I save it to a floppy (a few ) No drivers for my modem there Lsa have you found any guides for knopix printer setup or my dsl problem?
