FastTrak Driver Diskette for Linux

If you have a Linux PC and plan to install your FastTrak driver from a diskette,
follow this procedure. This procedure requires one write-enabled blank 3.5-inch
diskette.
1. Place your blank diskette in the appropriate drive.
2. Insert the Promise CD into your CD-ROM drive.
The display screen should open automatically.
If the display screen does not open, open the CD manually in your graphic
user interface.
3. Click the Linux Driver button.
4. Manually copy the driver image file to your PC's hard drive or a USB memory
stick.
5. Do one of the following actions:
• On a Windows PC – Type rawrite.exe to extract the driver image file to
the blank diskette.
• On a Linux PC – Type dd if=<imageFileName>
of=<floppyDeviceName> bs=10k to extract the driver image file to the
blank diskette.
Where <imageFileName> is the driver image file name and
<floppyDeviceName> is the device name, such as /dev/ fd0.
