Installing and customizing Red Hat-enabled computers
Linux-enabled computers require the HP Installer Kit and the purchase of a Red Hat Enterprise Linux box
set. The Installer kit includes the HP CDs necessary to complete the installation of all versions of the Red
Hat Enterprise Linux box set that have been qualified to work on an HP computer.
To use the drivers in the HP Installer kit for Linux other than RHEL, you must manually extract the drivers
from the HP Driver CD and install them. HP does not test the installation of these drivers on other Linux
distributions nor does HP support this operation.
