INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: 
LINUX USERS: After downloading the SoftPaq file, verify that the SoftPaq file 
has a .tgz extension. If it does not, change it to .tgz. Some browsers 
automatically rename the file with a .tar extension, which makes the SoftPaq 
unusable. 

1. Download the SoftPaq .TGZ file to a directory on your hard drive.

2. Extract the .TGZ file. For example, to extract the contents, at console 
prompt type (where ''filename'' is replaced by the name of the file to be 
extracted): 
''tar -xzvf filename.tgz''

NOTE: For more information about flashing the system BIOS, see the README text 
file that is provided in the SoftPaq.
