			    :DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
********************************************************************************
An Anaconda update from Red Hat that fixes Bugzilla #'s 16142 and 28867 is 
REQUIRED to perform installation. 

Once you have downloaded the needed update, you are ready to complete your 
process of creating a driver diskette.

There are two methods to creating the Installation Diskette. Both methods are
explained below.

		****** MAKING A DISKETTE UNDER MS-DOS ******
		
	To make a diskette under MS-DOS, use the "rawrite" utility which
	is included on the Red Hat Linux CD in the "dosutils" directory.
	First, label a blank, formatted 3.5-inch diskette as "COMPAQ Red 
	Hat 7.0	Driver Diskette". Next, insert the diskette in the diskette
	drive. Then, use the following commands (Assuming your COMPAQ Disk 
	Image is at the location c: and your CD-ROM is drive d:) :
		
		C:\> d:\dosutils\rawrite
		Enter disk image source file name: dd.img-i686
		Enter target diskette drive: a:
		Please insert a formatted diskette into drive A: and
		press --ENTER-- : Enter

	First, "rawrite" asks you for the filename of a diskette image. Use 
	the filename included with this package, "dd.img-i686", as the source 
	file. Then "rawrite" asks you which drive to write the image to; 
	enter a:. Finally, "rawrite" asks for a confirmation that a formatted 
	diskette is in the diskette drive you selected. After pressing ENTER 
	to confirm, "rawrite" copies the image file onto the diskette. If you 
	need to make another diskette, label that diskette, and run "rawrite" 
	again, specifying the appropriate image file.


		****** MAKING A DISKETTE UNDER A LINUX-LIKE OS ******
	
	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).
	
	First, label a blank, formatted diskette appropriately (COMPAQ Red 
	Hat 7.0 Driver Diskette). Insert the diskette into the floppy drive, 
	but DO NOT issue the mount command. Change to the directory where 
	you saved your COMPAQ Disk Image, and issue the following command :

		# dd if=dd.img-i686 of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k

	This command creates a Diskette containing the image of the input 
	file (if=dd.img-i686) 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.

To install Linux using this COMPAQ Red Hat 7.0 Driver Diskette, boot your linux
machine with your Red Hat 7.0 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

Red Hat will prompt for the Updates Diskette and the COMPAQ Red Hat 7.0 Driver 
Diskette during the installation procedure.
