DISKETTE CONTENTS

Your Driver Diskette should contain the following files:
==================================================================
Files		Contents
==================================================================
README.TXT	This file; your installation guide
UNIXDRVR.TAR	Device drivers package for UNIX (in tar format)
F2TAR.EXE	Utility to transfer UNIXDRVR.TAR onto a formatted
		diskette.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

1.  Prepare a formatted diskette on any DOS machine.
    ( Hint: This can be done using DOS command - FORMAT.
	    e.g.

	    C>format a:
	    ³	     ³
	    ³	     À Diskette drive
	    À Dos prompt

	    For more details, please refer to DOS reference manual )

    ( Note: Please make sure that there is no bad sector on the target
	    diskette using DOS command - CHKDSK
	    e.g.

	    C>chkdsk a:
	    ³	     ³
	    ³	     À Diskette drive
	    À Dos prompt

	    For more details, please refer to DOS reference manual )

2.  Run F2TAR.EXE to generate an Installation Diskette for UNIX system.

    2.1  After executing the "f2tar" command, following message will be
	 shown on the screen:

	 "Target drive letter (press 'A' or 'B') : "

	 press 'A' for the first drive, 'B' for second drive.


    2.2  Then "f2tar" will load the data file "unixdrvr.tar" into memory
	 and show the following messages:

	 "Reading file, please wait."
	 ......
	 "Done."

    2.3  Note if you are using the same drive for both Source Diskette and
	 UNIX Installation Diskette, "f2tar" will show the message:

	 "Remove the original diskette from drive A"
	 or
	 "Remove the original diskette from drive B"

	 Now you may remove the Source Diskette.

    2.4  When the message

	 "Insert a formatted diskette into drive A and press [ENTER] :"
	 or
	 "Insert a formatted diskette into drive B and press [ENTER] :"

	 is shown on the screen, get a formatted blank diskette and insert
	 the diskette to drive A (or B) as indicated in the message.
	 Then press "Enter" key to start processing.

    2.5  So "f2tar" will transfer the data file "unixdrvr.tar" to target
	 diskette and following messages will be shown.

	 "Generating UNIX Installation Diskette on drive A."
	 "Press [Ctrl] [C] to abort."

	 If you want to abort the operation, press "Ctrl" and "C"
	 at the same time.

	 Please wait for a few seconds, and the UNIX Installation Diskette
	 will be created. Note that the resulting diskette is in UNIX
	 tar format, thus not accessible by DOS.

3.  Remove the UNIX Installation Diskette, login to UNIX system as root.

    After the data file has been transferred completely, you will see

    "Please remove the diskette from drive A".

    If you are using the same drive for both Source Diskette and UNIX
    Installation Diskette, the messages below will be shown on the
    screen too.

    "Please insert the original diskette to drive A"
    "Press [ENTER] to continue ..."

    So put Source Diskette back to the drive indicated by the message,
    and press "Enter" key.

    Now the UNIX Installation Diskette is ready for use, please login
    to UNIX system as supervisor (root).

    ( Note: Please make sure the current directory is "/" using UNIX
	    command - pwd. )

4.  Run custom utility and select Install new package. It will prompt you
    to insert 16-BIT Ethernet LLI driver disk. After reading drive A, it
    will show a message to inform you to use netconfig or mkdev <driver>
    (this case - u5l) to add drivers into your system.
    If you use mkdev u5l, you must use mkdev tcp and select u5l for
    this LLI driver to complete configuration.


5.  All the hardware setting of 16-bit Ethernet adapter is
    configured by the SETUP configuration utility.


6.  If you encounter any problems during installation, (i.e., an error
    message appears on-screen) call your dealer for assistance.
