Images:
-------
Download the driver image of interest. You only need one image.
dd-1.7.3a.img Driver install image. Driver Version 1.7.3a (latest).
dd16c.img Driver install image. Driver Version 1.6c.
dd160.img Driver install image. Driver version 1.6b.
How to copy this image to a diskette:
-------------------------------------
Unix:
1) Transfer the image to a Unix machine. If you are using ftp, make sure that
you use BINARY mode, e.g. type binary after the ftp prompt and before the
transfer.
2) On the Unix machine, copy the image to a floppy disk using the 'dd' command:
dd if=dd160.img of=/dev/fd0
(The image is a full-sized diskette image - you will not be able to download
it to a diskette using standard windows tools.)
Windows: Use the same procedure as is necessary to build a new boot image.
See the Red Hat Linux 7.0 Installation Guide, Chapter 3. (Summary)
1) Insert your Red Hat Linux CD into your Windows machines CD drive (I'll
assume this is drive letter d:)
2) C:> cd \d:
D:> cd \dosutils
D:\dosutils> rawrite <enter>
Enter disk image source file name: c:\driverdisk\dd160.img <enter>
Enter target diskette drive: a: <enter>
Please insert a formatted diskette into drive A: and press -- ENTER--: <enter>
D:\dosutils>
Note: rawrite may not like long path names....I had to use c:\dd160.img. I did one
install with a windows-created disk and things went nicely.
How to use this image:
----------------------
During a Red Hat 7.0 install, the initial screen gives the installer 5 or 6
options. Select the driver update install option.
For a graphical install, enter
linux dd
For a text-based install, enter

The installation routine will ask if you have a driver upate disk, answer yes,
and follow the directions.
