Step 2.

Next, create a temporary directory into which the files can be extracted:

[root@localhost root]# cd /tmp

[root@localhost tmp]# mkdir inst_Comtrol

[root@localhost tmp]# cd inst_Comtrol



Step 3.

Then, extract the driver components from the tar file on the diskette or CD ROM to the
temporary directory:

Note that the name of the tar file may be different.

DISKETTE

[root@localhost inst_Comtrol]# tar xvf /mnt/floppy/rel103.tar

CD ROM

[root@localhost inst_comtrol]# tar xvf /mnt/cdrom/rel103.tar

Note:The path to rel103.tar may differ on the CD ROM.

Step 4

Run the installation script

IMPORTANT

If your Linux kernel is not version 2.4.18-14 or your kernel configuration

differs from our development system then you will need to (re)compile the
RocketPort 550 driver source on your system, otherwise the Install script will

display error messages and the driver will not be installed. If this is the case
then follow the procedure in section 7 , ( Re)-compiling the RocketPort 550

Linux driver, before proceeding with installation step 4.
