3 Requirements for Installation of the DiskOnChip into Linux

In order to prepare the DiskOnChip to boot Linux, the following software programs and tools are required:

∙Linux should be installed on your HDD. It is possible to check the kernel version by typing the command uname -r.

∙The Linux kernel sources should be installed in Linux (if you don’t have them, refer to kernel-HOWTO at http://sunsite.unc.edu/LDP/).

If you are about to install Linux, make sure that you also install the kernel sources package and that it is possible to pass a full compilation of your sources.

∙A DOS boot diskette or a HDD that boots DOS.

∙M-Systems’ DiskOnChip DOS utilities diskette.

∙M-Systems’ TrueFFS driver for Linux.

Note: The latest Disk OnChip DOS utilites can be downloaded from M -System’ website: www.m-sys.com.
