Help: Installing Device Drivers On Ubuntu - Help installing ADSL driver on Ubuntu

binod12
I am new to Linux. I have just installed Ubuntu 5.10 on Pentium Xeon XSeries 226 server. I want to install driver for my existing Zyxel 630-11 ADSL modem to connect to the internet. I have also downloaded the driver from sourceforge in .tgz format.

I don't know how to install this driver. If anyone know... please help me.

Just try to double-click on the tgz file, you will see if ubuntu installed all the necessary things in order to uncompress this tgz file.
If not, I would suggest first, to put this file on a Microsoft Windows machine which has winrar installed, and then use winrar to uncompress the tgz file. Then, when uncompressed, you will probably see there a readme file explaining what to do exactly.

By the way, how is your PC connected to that modem ? Through an Ethernet cable, or through an USB cable ?

Usually, there is an installation program included INSIDE the tarball (.tar or tgz)

Namely binod12 wanted to know how to read a tgz file... So knowing that the answer is inside the file looks far more frustrating...


@binod12 : your tgz file should be uncompressed by the following command :
CONSOLE

tar xzvf my_filename.tgz

    installed. I restarted the system to find revalidation errors when booting. It kept on repeating
    the same thing over and over so I thought that the Wubi installation was corrupted or otherwise
    damaged. I downloaded Ubuntu 8.04 and burnt it onto a CD-R and tried that instead. I couldn't

    months. So I reinstalled windows, well, first deleted the windows partition using the windows XP

    intact. But of course, windows deletes GRUB and replace it with their boot info, so now I can't

  14. With Wubi The Hard Drive Does Not Have To Be Repartitioned Before The Ubuntu Installation
    (2)
    Wubi is an Ubuntu installer for Windows that lets you install and uninstall Ubuntu from a Windows
    desktop. Wubi adds an entry to the Windows boot menu which allows you to run Linux. Ubuntu is
    installed within a file in the Windows file system (a loopmounted partition), this file is seen by
    Ubuntu as a real hard disk. That way the hard drive does not have to be repartitioned before the
    Ubuntu installation. The resulting Ubuntu installation is a "real" Linux system, not just a virtual
    machine. Wubi makes it easy for Linux newbies to play around with Ubuntu. http://wubi-i....

    On the first day of this month Cononical released the latest iteration of their linux distribution,

    believe) it was delayed to polish up a few things and I think it was well spent. I have seen
