HPIKL driver disc

Recent versions of Red Hat Linux typically require only driver updates with minor fixes to support HP workstations. These releases can usually be supported with the HPIKL driver disc, which can be used as a post-installation utility for the standard Red Hat Linux install.

After you complete the standard Red Hat install and restart the system, a Red Hat first-bootutility runs. After you specify a number of settings (such as the security level, time and date, root password, user accounts), the utility lets you to load additional disc.

The driver disc is used during this phase. All content added by HP is in the /HP directory on the disc. You can use it to build your own image or to browse the HP content.

NOTE: Some installations may encounter problems if they are performed with a DisplayPort connection to the monitor. This is because the default drivers that the OS installers use do not support DisplayPort functionality. If you experience problems, try overriding the monitor choice for DisplayPort during the start of the install and using the VESA driver instead. You can then set up the DisplayPort monitor later.
