Floppy Disk/ftp archive (may be you have to become root) - mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0H1440 /mnt Now you will find a /mnt directory with the above described structure. - Copy the contents of the floppy/ftp archive into the appropriate directories on your system. - Load the driver: insmod Driver/smii_module Hint: You can add this line to your rc.local script - To remove driver: rmmod smii_module - To check if driver is present: lsmod - Make a device entry mknod /dev/smii c 40 0 - or use the configure utility to rebuild the driver Note: You have to use the same major number as used in the module. (Take a look in Space.c) - use ranlib on the library - Test it with smp If you need to change the major number refer to the REDAME in the Driver directory. If you need the driver for a different kernel version than 1.1.62 refer to the README in the Driver directory. NOTE: This is a free version of the commercial Screen Machine II API.
