HP Installer Kit for Linux: Important
Red Hat/SUSE Linux installation
information
Your HP Workstation was configured without a Linux Operating System (OS) as you requested. Hewlett-
Packard has offered this solution to allow you more flexibility in installing the Red Hat Linux OS or
SUSE Enterprise Linux OS of your choice.
The HP Installer Kit does not include an OS. To install your Linux OS, you must purchase a Red Hat
Linux box set or SUSE Enterprise Linux OS from the following Red Hat or Novell web sites and install
according to their instructions:
●
http://www.redhat.com
●
http://www.novell.com/products/desktop
NOTE:
The OS must be downloaded from the web in order to be used with the Installer or Driver CD
in this kit.
Supported operating systems
Hewlett-Packard supports multiple versions of Red Hat® Enterprise Linux on HP Pentium® 4 and Intel
Xeon® Workstations. These versions include:
●
SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 (x86-64)
●
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS 4 x86 (32-bit) and AMD64/EM64T (64-bit).
●
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Desktop (x86) and (x86_64).
●
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS 6 (x86) and (x86_64)
To provide flexibility in installing the Red Hat OS version of choice or SUSE Enterprise Linux OS, HP
has created Installer and Driver CDs. These CDs are included in the HP Linux Installer Kit, and the OS
images (the .iso images) for these CDs can be downloaded from the HP support web site at
http://www.hp.com/go/workstationsupport.
