is located on the driver pack ISO. Refer to
Section 5.1, “Virtual CD Readers”

(Optional) If you are installing from an RPM that you built, the RPM is located
in
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/ xxx
, where
xxx
is the architecture of the vir-
tual machine. See Section 7.3.5, “Building Your Own RPMs” (page 76) for more
information.
