Special Instructions for Installing TurboLinux 6.02 on HP NetServers

1. Background information
=========================
To guarantee a successful installation of TurboLinux 6.02 on an HP NetServer, 
HP recommends updating a few critical drivers. This update will allow, among 
other things, the OS to recognize the ultra 3 SCSI controller present in some 
NetServers. HP has therefore implemented a special process to update the 
necessary drivers during the installation process. A script named launch is used 
to update all the necessary drivers as well as the source code for the mentioned 
drivers.

2. Using the disk image
=======================
The driver-pack (version 1.0t) contains:

- a driver disk image (version 7.1t)
- the rawrite utility
- this readme


2.1 Instructions for Linux users
--------------------------------
Download the driver-pack from the World Wide Web to the /tmp directory.
Run the command:

unzip  driver-pack10t.gz	(uncompress the driver pack)

Insert a new blank formatted floppy disk and run the command:

dd  if=nud-71t   of=/dev/fd0	(copies the script and driver image to the floppy)

Once the operation completes, carefully label the driver update disk as "TurboLinux 6.02
NOS Update Disk 7.1 (NUD)".


2.2 Instructions for Windows users
----------------------------------
Download the driver-pack to a temporary folder. You may 
use Winzip to extract the content of the compressed file.

From the DOS prompt, run the following commands:
(Change the directory to the temporary folder before running the command)

rawrite -f nud-71t	(copies the image for the script to floppy)

Once the operation completes, carefully label the driver update disk as "TurboLinux 6.02
NOS Update Disk 7.1t (NUD)".


3. Deviating from the standard install process
==============================================
Start the installation as indicated in the Turbolinux 6.02 installation guide.
After you select Network Type Option, please run the update utility. 

4. Running the script
=====================
- Insert the NOS Update Disk in the system.
- Press CTRL+ALT+F2 to get a shell prompt.
- To create a mount point for the floppy, enter the command:
  mkdir /floppy
- To mount the floppy drive, enter the command:
  mount /dev/fd0  /floppy
- Run the script from the root directory. Enter the command:
  /floppy/launch
  (Use /floppy/launch v for verbose mode)

The script will start and will copy the necessary files to the appropriate
locations. A menu allows the user to pick which driver to load. Follow the
instructions on the screen. When prompted, return to Normal setup by pressing
CTRL+ALT+F1.
