I am working on a tutorial about howto configure speedtouch 330 modem ( see wiki). One important part in it is a about installing the firmware. Actually, it's possible to copy it from Windows ( after installing the speedtouch driver ), from the web ( but needs a complicated procedure to split a file into two files ) and from the manufacturer's CD that is provided with the modem. It seems that the last way is the easier, but the problem is that I can't read the CD from Linux. I also tried extracting the ISO, and mounting it with "-o loop", but it gives me an empty directory. Help.

Youssef, Whatever is preventing you from reading the CD is probably also affecting your ability to extract the ISO, so I'd focus on solving that problem. What programs or utilities have you tried to use to read it? - Carl

What exactly did you do to read the CDROM ? Could you read any CDROM before trying the manufactures CDROM ? How your /etc/fstab looks like ? Did you try to mount the CDROM by yourself ? Which command you used ? Best regards, Reinhard.
What exactly did you do to read the CDROM ? First, I inserted the CD and went to media:/ , the title of CD was correct ( "SPEEDTOUCH" ) but the directory was empty. I also tried mounting from the command line, I typed as root umount /dev/dvd and then mount /dev/dvd, then cd /media/dvd , ls gave me ". .." which means it's empty. I tried to read information about the CD with K3B, it was correct: 1 session, 18 Mb. Could you read any CDROM before trying the manufactures CDROM ? Yes How your /etc/fstab looks like ? The default one (SUSE 10.0rc1), there is the same problem with other distros. Did you try to mount the CDROM by yourself ? Which command you used ? Yes, mount /dev/dvd as usual. Best regards, Reinhard. Thank you very much for your reply !

And how does the default one look like with you? Please understand that if somebody asks for specific information, it is best to give that specific information. What do you mean with `other distro's`? On the same machine, different machines?

OK, try `mount /dev/dvd /mnt` and see if you see someting at /mnt. houghi -- Quote correct (NL) http://www.briachons.org/art/quote/ Zitiere richtig (DE) http://www.afaik.de/usenet/faq/zitieren Quote correctly (EN) http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html

According to K3B, the system used for the CD is CDEVERYWHERE, after googling I found that CdEverywher is a specialist in crossplatform cds ( hybrid cds ). But I didn't find any information about how to read hybrd cds in linux and K3B says it's a one-session disk.

take a look at /proc/filesystems and/or /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/fs and try to use another fs: mount -t hfs /dev/dvd /mnt ls -al /mnt -- mdc

English is not my native language and I am very bad in recognising errors in spelling so I leave that to others. I also am not able to see if the content is correct. I just edited small bit mainly for layout purposes. houghi -- Quote correct (NL) http://www.briachons.org/art/quote/ Zitiere richtig (DE) http://www.afaik.de/usenet/faq/zitieren Quote correctly (EN) http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html

Actually, it looks prettier now. Thank you very very much. I'll may be add screenshots to help novice users install this modem. Again, thank you very much.
