How to use Kanotix, some issues
 

Hi, I just tried Kanotix mini live CD yesterday on my Toshiba satellite M 70. It,s working well. It can recognize my SATA HD( as sda1), USB flash drive( as sdb1), USB keyboard and USB mouse, all fine. I just want help in few things,

1- I am not able to find how to configure a dial up connection. I searched but no way. Can anybody help.
2- How can I know which version I am using?
3- I want to use scanModem utility to scan my modem. I put the file in USB flash drive via XP, and I am able to see this file when I boot in linux, but I don,t know how to execute this file. Which command I should write in Bash for this?
4- After I run the scanModem utility, how can I save the result back in my USB drive, so that I can post it through XP?

Note: I don,t want to use my HD for this purpose, only live CD and USB drive.

One and two I can't help you with. But a quick Google turned up this page on scanModem. It seems that it's just a script, packaged up in a compressed archive. All you should need to do is make sure your flash drive is mounted read-write, then cd into the directory holding the file and follow the directions from the page above (you may need to become root?):
If you don't know the commands, gunzip extracts the script from the archive, chmod +x changes the permissions so that it's executable, and the ./ tells bash to run the command (the script name) from the current directory.

The output should go into the same directory, unless you change something.

I have a real bad luck. No way although I tried too much. I was able to copy scanModem to desktop. I did as following
su
root
cd Desktop
root desktop
gunzip scanModem.gz
gunzip: no such file or directory
cd /sda1/
no such file or directory
cd /sdb1/
no such file or directory
cd /dev/had/
no such file or directory

I don,t know why as it is automounting my HD( as sda1 and I can see all the contents of my HD, including windows) and USB as sdb1 and I can see all its contents and copied the scanModem utility from there to desktop by mouse.
I was able to check properties of scanModem file by Rt.click, there is no permission to execute for owner even. I was not able to change execute permissions as I tried as follows

su
root
cd Desktop
root desktop
ls -l scanModem.gz
No such file or directory( and I can see the file on Desktop_ it,s surprizing).

It is in Kanotix( Cox USB) linux.

Same in DSL.
Here it is rather worse. As I am not able to see my HD or USB, no auto mounting I think.
There is a mounting device and by this I was able to mount CD room(already being used by live CD- so can,t understand it). Floppy not mounted( of course as laptop has no floppy drive).
Another drive shown mounted was sda1( don,t know it is HD or USB).
When I gave command
cd sda1 - again no success.
Also here when I enter us
It asks me root password and I have not set any password!

It,s all about my mess. I tried Puppy linux as well, and that a bigger failure, bad Distro for me
so will not write here although I was able to boot.

I can,t use my HD to install as I have installed RollbckRx.
Any help will be appreciated. Now I know why Linux is not popular.

It,s a winmodem in my toshiba satellite laptop. File is linux file as I know.
I gave command su , then cd /Desktop/the/binary/is but it said no such file or directory although I could see the file copied on Desktop.
