Fermi Linux LTS 3.0.x 
============================================================================
CDROM DIRECTORY ORGANIZATION

Fermi Linux LTS 3.0.x is delivered on several installation CD-ROM's .

The first Installation CD can be directly booted into the installation on
most modern systems, and contains the following directory structure (where
/mnt/cdrom is the mount point of the CD-ROM):

/mnt/cdrom
  |----> SL 
  |        |----> RPMS         -- base binary packages for Scientific Linux
  |        `----> base         -- Scientific Linux install support files 
  |----> images                -- boot and driver disk images
              |----> SL/       -- Install images for Scientific Linux (base)
              `----> Fermi/    -- Install images for Scientific Linux Fermi
  |----> isolinux              -- Files used for booting from CD
  |----> dosutils              -- installation utilities for DOS
  |----> README                -- this file
  `----> RPM-GPG-KEY-*         -- GPG signatures for packages 

The remaining Installation CDs are similar to Installation CD 1, except
that only the SL subdirectory is present.

If you are setting up an installation tree for NFS, FTP, or HTTP
installations, you must copy the RELEASE-NOTES files and all files from the
RedHat directory on all Installation CDs. On Linux and UNIX systems, the
following process will properly configure the /target/directory on your
server (repeat for each disc):

    1) Insert disc
    2) mount /mnt/cdrom
    3) cp -a /mnt/cdrom/SL /target/directory
    4) cp /mnt/cdrom/RELEASE-NOTES* /target/directory (Installation CD 1 only)
    5) umount /mnt/cdrom

INSTALLING

Many computers can now automatically boot from CD-ROMs. If you have such a
machine (and it is properly configured) you can boot the Fermi 
Linux Installation CD 1 directly without using any boot diskettes. After
booting, the Fermi Linux installation program will start, and
you will be able to install your system from the CD-ROM.

If your computer must use a boot diskette to start the Fermi 
Linux installation process, you must use one or more image files to create
the necessary diskettes.  You can find the necessary image files in the
images directory.  This directory contains the following image files:

  - bootdisk.img - primary boot diskette image file

  - drvblock.img - image file containing supplemental block device
                   drivers

  - drvnet.img - image file containing supplemental network drivers

  - pcmciadd.img - PCMCIA driver image file

A diskette created from the the bootdisk.img file is used to boot all
installations, no matter what installation method you select.

In addition, if you are performing anything other than a CD-ROM or hard
disk installation using only IDE/ATAPI devices, you must also create one or
more driver diskettes using one or more of the driver diskette image files.

A diskette created from the drvblock.img file is required when the
system contains any non-IDE mass storage devices (such as SCSI disk
or CD-ROM drives) that are to be used during the installation.

A diskette created from the drvnet.img file is required when a
network-based installation method is to be used.

A diskette created from the pcmciadd.img file is required when
PCMCIA devices (such as a PCMCIA-based CD-ROM drive or network
adapter) are to be used during the installation.

To write any of these image files to a diskette, use either the
rawrite program in the dosutils directory, or 'dd' under any
Linux-like system.  These programs will transfer the contents of the
image file to a diskette.  Once the necessary diskettes have been
created, insert the boot diskette and boot your machine.

Also in the images/ directory is boot.iso.  This file is an ISO image that
can be used to boot the Fermi Linux installation program.  It
is a handy way to start network-based installations without having to use
multiple diskettes.  To use boot.iso, your computer must be able to boot
from its CD-ROM drive, and its BIOS settings must be configured to do so.
You must then burn boot.iso onto a recordable/rewriteable CD-ROM.

EXPORT CONTROL

As required by U.S. law, user represents and warrants that it: (a)
understands that certain of the software are subject to export controls
under the U.S. Commerce Departments Export Administration Regulations
(EAR); (b) is not located in a prohibited destination country under the EAR

chemical or biological weapons, or missile technology end-uses unless
authorized by the U.S. Government by regulation or specific license; (e)
understands and agrees that if it is in the United States and exports or
transfers the Software to eligible end users, it will, as required by EAR
Section 741.17(e), submit semi-annual reports to the Commerce Departments
Bureau of Industry & Security (BIS), which include the name and address
(including country) of each transferee; and (f) understands that countries
other than the United States may restrict the import, use, or export of
encryption products and that it shall be solely responsible for compliance
with any such import, use, or export restrictions.
