How to install Minicom
Asked by
Edwin Nielsen
Trying to get on the internet with Ubuntu 10.10 equiped with a Trendnet TFM-560x modem..
I contacted the Trendnet people, they said I needed to install Minicom.
I downloaded Minicom and tried to install it as follows-
With the downloaded Minicom burned on a CD and placed in the optical drive of the Ubuntu computer, at the Command Prompt (terminal location) I entered "sudo apt-get install minicom", then hit enter.
I got a message saying that the minicom package could not be found.
Then I copied the minicom files to the download file on the harddrive and got the same results.
What am I doing wrong?
