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.
