Linux And Freebsd - Promise Technology Network Device EX4650 User Manual

Linux and FreeBSD

For BSD, start with a diskette. For Linux, choose the medium that works for your
system.
If your Linux PC does not have a floppy drive, copy the driver file to a CD or a
USB stick, whichever your PC supports.
To prepare a driver diskette, CD, or USB stick for Linux:
1. Insert the software CD into your CD-ROM drive.
2. Click the Driver button.
3. Click the button for your OS:
• Driver for Miracle Linux
• Driver for RedHat / Fedora
• Driver for SUSE
• Driver for FreeBSD
4. Double-click the folder for your OS version.
5. Manually copy the driver .tar.gz file from the folder to your PC's hard drive.
6. Open a terminal window and untar the driver file. Below is an example:
tar zxvf RH-306010003.tar.gz
7. Insert a blank diskette, a writable CD, or attach a USB memory stick to your
PC.
8. Copy the driver file to the diskette, CD, or USB stick.
Check the driver's ReadMe file for important information.
