Installing Linux Installing Linux 5 This section discusses installation issues related to the Linux operating systems (SCO*, Debian*, DLD*, LST*, Red Hat* and SuSE*). For a successful installation, study the Linux system manuals thoroughly. The required drivers can be created from the RAID Software Suite CD-ROM. 5.1 Before you begin Ensure that you have completed the steps described in Chapter 2, "Getting Started," before beginning the installation described in this chapter. 5.1.1 Linux Drivers and Updates In some cases, you must make a driver diskette from the CD-ROM before you begin the Linux installation to a RAID drive. In other cases, you can use the driver provided by the Linux distributor to install the operating system and then update the driver to the latest version using the source code that is available on the CD-ROM. To determine which case applies to your operating system, see Table 5-3 below. Linux drivers and updates are available on the CD-ROM in the following location: :\linux\dskimg\ Table 5-3.
