Installing Red Hat Linux 7.0 with the Backpack boot image file


1. Use rawrite.exe from the Dosutils directory on Disk 1 of your Red Hat 7.0
CD to make a floppy diskette with the Backpack image file.

2. Boot your computer with your Red Hat 7.0 boot diskette (not the one you
just created above with the Backpack image).

3. The first screen you will see is "Welcome to Red Hat Linux 7.0!". 
At the boot: prompt located at the bottom of the screen type: "linux dd" (without 
the quotes) then press enter. 

4. You will then be asked "Do you have a Driver Disk?", click YES.

5. When prompted to "Insert your Driver Disk and press enter", put in the
Backpack diskette created in step 1 above.

6. Red Hat will now prompt you to enter some generic computer information such
as Language and Keyboard.

7. You are now asked some questions in regards to your installation type. Please
select the following options:

"Installation Method"  --->  Local CDROM
"CDROM Type"  --->  Other CDROM
"Devices"   --->  Parallel-Port IDE CDROM

8. Red Hat will now attempt to read the Red Hat installation CD from the Backpack
drive. Make sure you have inserted it into the Backpack.

9. Red Hat should now tell you it has found the following devices: Parallel-Port
IDE CDROM. Make sure at this point you press "DONE."

10. You can now continue with your normal installation of Red Hat.


Note: This does not install the Backpack into Linux. Once Linux has successfully
installed, you will not have access to the Backpack. You must download and install
the Backpack module, BACKPACK-MODULE-1.0.2-KERNEL-2.2.16-22.TGZ, to continue
using the Backpack in Linux.
