packages.

1. For RPM based distributions only (e.g. Red Hat and SuSE), when updating the Netserver Agents
package, remove the old package before proceeding with the installation:
# rpm -e agents_lx
2. Before installing the Netserver Agents on a HP machine running Linux, verify if your platform
satisfies the hardware and software requirements as listed in section 3.1. If all requirements are satisfied,
just follow procedure listed below for each supported distribution. Note that letters xx and yy in package
