Thanks for your response Neil. I'll try it as soon as I can and let you know how I get on.

The files you have listed are already expanded.

Makefile is the target of the 'make' command.

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.
