3. Prepare Promise Driver Floppy

  1. Download Combined zip file from the following link. You can do this on any computer connected to Internet. This file has two zip files: one for multiprocessor computers (rhsmp.zip) and other for single processor computers (rhup.zip). Pick the right zip file for your machine and save it to a dos formatted floppy

  2. Insert this floppy into a working Linux computer and type:

    mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy 
cd /mnt/floppy 
mv rhsmp-ftb22.zip /tmp 
unzip /tmp/rhsmp-ftb22.zip 
cd / 
umount /mnt/floppy

    NoteNOTE
     

    The above commands are for multiprocessor computers. Adjust above commands by replacing rhsmp by rhup if your computer has only one processor.

  3. Label the floppy �Promise FastTrak driver� and set it aside.
