2. The first time installation

  A. Before Installation - Under DOS environment
   ****************************************************************
     *****    Make boot diskette for install RedHat 5.0    ******
   ****************************************************************
         =====Decompress the Boot diskette image file=====

         =====Rawrite a flopy at A:=====

  B. Installation
   a. Using boot diskette that you made as the Booting diskette and follow the
      Red Hat Linux installation procedures to install.
   b. When the installation was completely and the screen display with
      message......

                           " Done "
      " Congratulations, installation is complete......

      RedHat 5.0:
             Remove the floppy from drive a:, and put kernel disk in it
          
      RedHat 5.1:
             You don't need to remove bootdisk from a: ,use it for change kernel

        ********************************************************** 

      Press Alt+F2 switch display to command prompt, go throught following
      steps to update the kernel that has drivers for the Tekram DC-390(T)
      and DC310/DC310U/DC390W/DC390U/DC390F/DC390U2B/DC390U2W.
                    ====================================
              ......The following procedure is important......
                    ===========update kernel============
      RedHat 5.0
      ===Change boot diskette with kernel diskette on flopy disk===
          (1) bash# mkdir /mnt/mnt1
          (2) bash# mount /mnt/dev/fd0 /mnt/mnt1
          (3) bash# cp /mnt/mnt1/vmlinuz /mnt/boot/vmlinuz
          (4) bash# /mnt/sbin/lilo -r /mnt
          (5) bash# umount /mnt/mnt1

      RedHat 5.1
      ===You don't need to change diskette=====
          (1) bash# mkdir /mnt/mnt1
          (2) bash# mount -t msdos /tmp/rhimage/live/dev/fd0 /mnt/mnt1
          (3) bash# cp /mnt/mnt1/vmlinuz /mnt/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.35-1
          (4) bash# /mnt/sbin/lilo -r /mnt
          (5) bash# umount /mnt/mnt1

      Press Alt+F1 to switch back to installation done screen.
      Remove the floppy and press Enter to reboot.

3. Remake new kernel

   P.S: You must install your Linux system by developmental environment
        and include kernel source first.
