5.4: Installing the kernel modules and utilities

Note: You have to be `root' to install the driver. Either you login as root or do a `su' at the shell prompt.

The makefile contains an `install' target. Before actually running `make install' you should check [/usr/src/ftape-4.05/]MCONFIG for correctness of the installation location. Actually, you only need to worry about the MODULESDIR(1) location and the default is most probably correct.

MODULESDIR

`/lib/modules/KERNEL_VERSION/misc'

Simply typing

make install

in the top directory of the ftape sources will result in the following actions:
