Using the HP Enablement Kit To Prepare For Operating System Installation

The HP Enablement Kit for Linux ships with your system hardware and is also available for free download under the Linux link at http://www.software.hp.com. The enablement kit prepares your system for operating system installation and prompts you to insert operating system CDs when ready. For detailed instructions, see Installing Your Operating System of this document and refer to the HP Enablement Kit for Linux CD Booklet.

Downloading the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server

The SUSE Linux Enterprise Server is available for download for each available platform, either as four CD ISO images or one DVD ISO image. To download, perform these steps:

	IMPORTANT: Create the CDs or DVD using the contents of the ISO images. Do not create the CDs or DVD by burning the .iso files themselves to CD or DVD. For example, if you are using K3b to burn a CD, click Tools>CD>Burn CD Image, select the .iso image, then click Burn.
