Binod Singh 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2006 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yordan 10 Report post Posted May 25, 2006 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.RegardsYordanBy the way, how is your PC connected to that modem ? Through an Ethernet cable, or through an USB cable ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yordan 10 Report post Posted May 26, 2006 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
