The files you have listed are already expanded.
Linux folder contents on driver CD: 536ep-boot 536ep-inst hamregistry Readme.txt Makefile
Makefile is the target of the 'make' command.
vssver.scc Folder - Coredrv contains: 536epcore.lib rts.c clmmain.c
These .c files are the C source code that 'make' will pass to gcc to compile the program according to the instructions in the Makefile.
$ cd /media/cdrom/foo/ # or whatever your CD path is for the directory ABOVE the source $ tar -czf ~/536epdriver.tar.gz driver-source-dir/ $ cd ~ Now do step two.i.e. Instead of simply copying the files from the CD (where the permissions are all read-only), create a tar.gz from the CD files and decompress that on your local filesystem so that the files are written with YOUR UID and writable permissions.
