           pkunzip Install.zip --> Install.144

     It is important for you to install Linux in your SCSI hard disk.

          **<< First if you try to boot form your SCSI CDROM >>**

     You must enable your adapter Option:
                   Boot From CDROM ..... Enable
                   Boot Device ID  ..... (same as your SCSI CDROM ID)
          Then ==>select the section to boot <ESC> to abort: 0
                            ........
     ....same process as try to boot from installation floppy.....

             %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
             %      install from floppy     %
             %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
         **<< if you try to boot form your installation Floppy >>**

      S.u.S.E Linux installation start...

          .....you don't need to load any SCSI MODULE......
                             .....
                            .......
                           .........
    step:            "Select Kernel" ==> select any one what you want....
    step:       "CREATE A BOOT DISK" ==> It's time for change kernel 
                                     with kernel "linux" ,
                                     the file in your installation diskette....

3. Remake new kernel

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

  % Example of DC310/DC310U/DC390W/DC390U/DC390F/DC390U2B/DC390U2W  %

  *****************************************************
  *               Edit the following files 
  *   for compile the kernel that embed Tekram SCSI drivers
  *
  *          /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/Makefile
  *          /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/Config.in
  *          /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/hosts.c
  *          /usr/src/linux/include/linux/proc_fs.h
  *****************************************************

  # mcopy a:pMChp2_0_31.gz
  # gzip -d pMChp2_0_31.gz
  # patch -p0 < pMChp2_0_31
  ;
  ;  you colud use command: find / -name *.rej
  ;  to find any rejection file.
  ;
  ;  If there were any "*.rej" created after this procedure,
  ;  you need to edit those files (Makefile,Confiig.in,hosts.c,proc_fs.h)
  ;  by yourself.
  ;  You could reference "pMChp2_0_*" & "*.rej" contand before edit those files.
