2.0  Installation and setup instructions
________________________________________
     
     The image file is for use during a new installation of RHEL4. 

     To create a diskette use the following procedure:

	1. Place the image file in a temporary directory.

	2. Insert a blank diskette into an internal or USB floppy drive.

	3. In the same directory as the image file, type the following command:

             dd if=<image file> of=<floppy device>

           where <floppy device> is something like /dev/fd0 for an IDE floppy drive or 
           /dev/sda for a USB floppy drive.

        4. During RHEL4 installation, type "linux dd" at the initial boot prompt.  When 
           prompted, insert the diskette created in step 3.
     ---

     The binary RPM file is for upgrading the mptsas driver on an existing installation of 
     Linux.

     To upgrade the driver, follow the instructions provided with your Linux distribution.
     ---

     If you are using a non-standard kernel, you may need to build a new driver using the 
     source RPM.

     To build a new driver, follow the instructions provided with your Linux distribution.
