Setting up Red Hat Enterprise Linux (HP Workstations
only)
HP offers an HP Installer Kit for Linux (HPIKL) to supplement Red Hat box
sets and help HP Linux customers customize their system image. The
HPIKL contains the HP driver CD and device drivers to successfully setup
up the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) operating system, The HP Installer
Kit for Linux CDs are currently available for download at
http://www.hp.com/support/workstation_swdrivers.
Installing with the HP Driver CD
To install the HP driver CD, see “Installing with the HP Installer Kit for Linux”
in the HP Workstations for Linux manual at

Installing and Customizing Red Hat-enabled Workstations
Linux-enabled workstations require the HP Installer Kit and the purchase
of a Red Hat Enterprise Linux box set. The Installer kit includes the HP CDs
necessary to complete the installation of all versions of the Red Hat
Enterprise Linux box set that have been qualified to work on an HP
workstation.
To use the drivers in the HP Installer kit for Linux other than RHEL, you
must manually extract the drivers from the HP Driver CD and install them.
HP does not test the installation of these drivers on other Linux distributions
nor does HP support this operation.
