CREATING A DRIVER DISKETTE
--------------------------
There are two methods to create the Installation Diskette:


MAKING A DISKETTE UNDER MS-DOS:
-------------------------------
1) Save the "[package name]" file into a temporary directory. 

2) Use the "rawrite" utility which is included on the United Linux 1.0 / SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 Service Pack 3 (x86) CD.

3) Label a blank, formatted 3.5-inch diskette as "HP United Linux 1.0 / SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 Service Pack 3 (x86) Driver Diskette". Next, insert the diskette in the diskette drive. Then, use the following commands (assuming your Disk Image is at the location c: and your CD-ROM is drive d:)

	C:\> d:\dosutils\rawrite 

Enter disk image source file name: adpahci.v1.19.V414A19.V041A7.ul10_sp3.i586.img Enter target diskette drive: a: 

Please insert a formatted diskette into drive A: and press --ENTER-- : Enter


MAKING A DISKETTE UNDER A LINUX-LIKE OS:
----------------------------------------
1)  Save the "adpahci.v1.19.V414A19.V041A7.ul10_sp3.i586.img" file into a temporary directory. 

2)  To make a diskette under Linux (or any other Linux-like operating system), you must have permission to write to the device representing a 3.5-inch diskette drive (known as /dev/fd0 under Linux)

3)  First, label a blank, formatted diskette appropriately (HP United Linux 1.0 / SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 Service Pack 3 (x86) Driver Diskette). Insert the diskette into the floppy drive, but DO NOT issue the mount command:

	# dd if=adpahci.v1.19.V414A19.V041A7.ul10_sp3.i586.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k

4)  This command creates a diskette containing the image of the input file (adpahci.v1.19.V414A19.V041A7.ul10_sp3.i586.img) to an output file (of=/dev/fd0) using the diskette size of 1440k (1.44MB).  To make another diskette label that diskette, and run "dd" again, specifying the correct input file.


INSTALLATION
------------
To install Linux using this "HP United Linux 1.0 / SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 Service Pack 3 (x86) Driver Diskette", boot your Linux machine with your United Linux 1.0 / SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 Service Pack 3 (x86) CD1 in your CD-ROM Drive.

A menu will be displayed, prompting for your input. Type the following line of code to inform the operating system of the diskette:

	# linux updates dd

United Linux 1.0 / SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 Service Pack 3 (x86) will prompt for the Updates Diskette and the HP United Linux 1.0 / SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 Service Pack 3 (x86) Driver Diskette during the installation procedure.
