Note that when using any bootable CD modem drivers will have to be compiled after each boot, in this case the hsfmodem drivers. The standard hsfmodem installation is VERY LARGE. and tries to install files in a few different folders. I suspect most of them will not be available during a USB boot, during which many of folders are read only on the CD/DCD. \ MarvS scanModem maintainer On Fri, Sep 21, 2012 at 7:46 PM, Ant <ant@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hi all! > > I think this is similiar to my > > http://knoppix.net/forum/threads/30210-Dial-up-Modem-and-KNOPPIX-v7.0.4-Live-CD-...?p=127914 > forum thread with klaus2008's help.
