Jim, Please first send us the ModemData.txt from scanModem output so we will understand your System better. For needed packages which are not on your install CD, you can search for them at http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages For compiling on Debian you will also need the package at: http://packages.debian.org/stable/devel/linux-kbuild-2.6.18 But as Firas suggests, with your install CD in the drive (don't mount it manually) do $ su - root # apt-get install linux-kbuild-2.6.18 linux-headers-`uname -r` Then you will be informed which packages are not on the CD and have to be downloaded. Once downloaded and copied to a Linux folder, they can all be installed at once with # dpkg -i *.deb Firas, The syntax $(uname -r) is only functional in scripts. At the command prompt `uname -r` is necessary instead, at least on my Ubuntu system with BASH shell Going to sleep in the USA MarvS More generally On 8/12/07, Firas Kraiem <fkraiem@xxxxxxx> wrote: > No. If you want to install a DEB file directly, you must use > > # dpkg -i file.deb > > However, running the apt-get command as I told you before works for > installing from the CD, too. > > Firas > > jupiter.hce@xxxxxxxxx wrote: > > Thanks Firas. sorry I am new to Debian and I don't have the Internet > > conection yet (waiting for my winmodem work :-)).
