Welcome to the SIPB Linux Installation Documentation directory. The files
in this directory are compiled from various locations will help you find
out more about installing Linux and using it on MITnet with Athena.

README		    -- This file
INFO-SHEET	    -- A basic description of Linux and the hardware
	it runs on.
Hardware-HOWTO	    -- A list (with some comments) of hardware
	compatible with Linux. This is somewhat out of date.
XFree86-HOWTO	    -- How to setup XFree86. Lists compatible chipsets.
Installation-HOWTO  -- A (fairly old) file detailing how to install Linux
	on your system. It was written for Slackware, so a RedHat install
	is a bit different.
UMSDOS-HOWTO	    -- A file describing UMSDOS and what to do with it.
fips.doc	    -- The documentation for FIPS... a NONDESTRUCTIVE
	way of partitioning your hard drive!
linux-net-install.dvi -- A SIPB document which summarizes how to install Linux
	on your system, with specific information about installing it on 
	MITnet.
linux-athena.dvi    -- A SIPB document which details how to set up your
	Linux box to be compatible with Athena software. This is
	about to be obsoleted by our RedHat install procedures but
	may be a useful reference.
RedHat-HOWTO	    -- A dated file on how to install RedHat. Not entirely
	relevant on Athena.
slackware.disksets  -- A file which briefly describes the contents of
	the various Slackware 3.0.0 disksets. Version numbers might
	be slightly off.
