[SuseStarUser]

Hi
after I downloaded package for my modem
I found file read me

1. root access
2. bash shell to run install scripts
3. an Intel536ep modem
4. KERNEL SOURCE HEADERS FOR THE KERNEL YOU ARE RUNNING.
(found on your distribution's CD)
6 steps to install
1. login as ROOT
2. extract the archive into a directory with "tar -zxvf <archivename>.tgz"
3. cd into the directory it created.
4. Type: make clean
5. Type: make 536
6. Type: make install

and I don't know what I have to do
please tell me solution step by step
Thanks

What exactly do you not understand?

firstly ,bash shell to run install scripts
and I didn't find KERNEL SOURCE HEADERS I found KERNEL SOURCE
Secondary,make not found
and why I have to write
make clean
make 536
make install
I mean what does it work

ok the shell stuff is just what is also known as the command line or terminal/console/Konsole. This is all the same thing ie the command line. This is where you may type commands.

Kernal source headers are in the kernel-source package. Use Yast to install it.

Make not found means you do not have it installed. Again use Yast to install make package.

You also may need the gcc compiler (c/c++) again in Yast install gcc. Note there will be lots of gcc packages just install gcc unless you have a need for one of the others. If you don't know you don't need it.

The make commands are the way that the system makes the connections between programs compiles the code and in general installs the package. make is an amazingly complete installation and compilation all in one tool. once it is installed you can type info make to get more information about make then you want

thanks
I followed this steps without problems
by yast2 configuration modem asks me install intel-536ep
and when I press ok shows message
"cann't access installation media medium check whether the server is accessible"
what it means!!

[gogalthorp]

1) why are you running Yast from the command line??

2) not sure what that message means but it seems to indicate you do not have the media which has the driver inserted.

same result when I am running yast from terminal,however but when I press skip
for 3 times , I can access to my dvd
now I have other problem when I write make 536 in terminal show me error
