i need to install a modem in Slackware Linux. it's a PCChips SiS630 m/b with an HSP56 AMR DAA v56 e v7.0 modem. i have 2 drivers available on my windows partition, which is mounted as /win-c on /dev/hda1 etc, so i can see the drive ok from linux. i've either :-

or
c:
all i can find on the net is info on installing rpm's, but can't find an rpm package, so before i break my linux install again ((( well actually for the 3rd time!
))) can anyone tell me in simple english what the hell to do with 'em. just i'd quite like to be able to at least login to SH to give me summat to do while i sit bewildered going through the rest of it . . . . ;-)i can do this from the command line, or from KDE or Gnome if that makes it any easier. but i already broke KDE once and knackered me root login somehow and needed to reinstall again, so quite keen to avoid that one again if poss . . . . :lol:
i have trawled through the net on this and found the following, but it's all gibberish at the mo . . . . . ;-)
tar -xzf
cd modem
make install
hsfconfig
i can't even get the cp command to copy over to hda2 right to attempt it :lol:
cheers guys . . . . .
