2.0  Installation and setup instructions
________________________________________
     
     This image file is for use during a new installation of SLES9 SP1.  If you are upgrading 
     an existing installation, use the source rpm provided in a tgz archive from the IBM 
     support website.

     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 SLES9 SP1 installation, press F6 at the initial boot screen.  When 
           prompted, insert the diskette created in step 3.
