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.
