MegaRAC Software Installation Instructions:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.	Mount the Applications CD.  This can normally be accomplished with the
	following command:
		mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

2.	Change directories to your mounted cdrom.  EG:
		cd /mnt/cdrom

	Change to directories to the Red Hat Linux server software
	directory:
		cd Server/Linux/"Red Hat"

3.	The packages for the MegaRAC software are contained in this
	directory.  You can install the correct package for your system by
	typing:
		rpm -Uvh <package-name>.i386.rpm
	Or, you can use the install script to automatically detect your
	kernel version and install the appropriate package:
		./MegaRAC-install.sh

4.	The RPM package will automatically install and load the driver,
	library, and daemons, so no reboot is required.

5.	If the package requires other packages be installed or upgraded, 
	download the required versions from the Red Hat FTP site or a
	convenient mirror.  For example download the package:
	
		 ucd-snmp-4.1.2-1.i386.rpm
	
	...to clear up a dependency on ucd-snmp >= 4.1.2 for Red Hat 6.2
	systems.  Install/upgrade the package with the following rpm
	command:

		rpm -Uvh <packagefile>

	For example, install or upgrade the current ucd-snmp package with
	the newly downloaded package like so:

		rpm -Uvh ucd-snmp-4.1.2-1.i386.rpm

	If the package currently installed is newer, the old one will not
	install without extra arguments.

MegaRAC Software Basics
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.	To display the curent setting of the MegaRAC Card type:
		racconf

2.	Verify that MegaRACSnmp (SNMP agent for MegaRAC) is loaded by typing:
		ps -ax | grep MegaRACSnmp

3.	Verify that MegaRACd (MegaRAC daemon) is loaded by typing:
		ps -ax | grep MegaRACd

4.	Start, stop, or restart MegaRACSnmp with the command:
		/etc/rc.d/init.d/MegaRACSnmp (start | stop | restart)

5.	Start, stop, or restart MegaRACd with the command:
		/etc/rc.d/init.d/MegaRACd (start | stop | restart)

	NOTE:  Both MegaRACSnmp and MegaRACd will be started automatically
	when you install the package, and stopped automatically when you
	uninstall the package.


About the Packages
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.	Package names
	The packages are named according to their target platforms:

	To determine which version you have installed, you can use a package
	management tool such as GnoRPM, or use the RPM query all command
	(rpm -q) to determine if the package is installed, for eg.:

	rpm -qa | grep "MegaRAC"

2.	Files Installed:
