       PowerQuest ServerMagic 3.0 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

These procedures are for using Linux to create a bootable 3.5" diskette
containing ServerMagic 3.0, another diskette containing the
ServerMagic help file and utility programs, and a third diskette
containing a bootable version of Linux.  These images contain English
version of the files only.  They require a computer with a CD-ROM drive
and a 3.5" diskette drive running Linux or MS-DOS, the ServerMagic
CD-ROM and two blank 1.44 Mb 3.5" diskettes.  The diskette may not have
any bad sectors, or the software copied to them will not perform
properly.

The INSTALL script automates some of the steps used to create the
diskettes for many Linux configurations.  It runs on systems where the
files from the LINUX directory on the CD-ROM are in the same directory
as the INSTALL script or where the mount point of the CD-ROM drive drive
is either listed in the /etc/fstab file or, if not, is named /mnt/cdrom.
Your Linux system must also have the more, basename and dirname commands
installed.  If your system is configured like this, use the first
procedure to create the ServerMagic diskettes.  If your system does
not meet these criteria, use the second procedure to manually create the
ServerMagic diskettes.

Note that the second diskette should be in the drive if you want to use
the Help menu item or the context-sensitive help when running
ServerMagic.

PROCEDURE USING THE INSTALL SHELL SCRIPT TO CREATE DISKETTES

1.  If the CD-ROM is not already mounted, put the CD-ROM in your
CD-ROM drive and use a command like

	mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

to mount it.  You may have to substitute the device name of your CD-ROM
drive for /dev/cdrom and your CD-ROM mount point for /mnt/cdrom if they
are different than the above.

2.  Execute the INSTALL script using the command

	sh /mnt/cdrom/LINUX/INSTALL /dev/fd0

(or /dev/fd1 if your 3.5" drive is named fd1 instead of fd0)

If this line produces a "/mnt/cdrom/LINUX/INSTALL: command not found"
error, try the command

	sh /mnt/cdrom/linux/install /dev/fd0

since some older Linux CD-ROM drivers lowercased file names on the CD.

3.  Put in diskette one and diskette 2 and press the Enter key when
prompted to do so.

4.  Replace diskette one in your floppy drive and reboot the the
computer to run ServerMagic.

PROCEDURE FOR CREATING DISKETTES MANUALLY UNDER LINUX

1.  Put the CD-ROM in your CD-ROM drive and use a command like

	mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

to mount it, if it is not already mounted.  You may have to substitute
the device name of your CD-ROM drive for /dev/cdrom and your CD-ROM
mount point for /mnt/cdrom if they are different than the above.

2.  Insert diskette one into your 3.5" 1.44 Mb diskette drive and
type the following command

	dd if=/mnt/cdrom/LINUX/SMFLOPPY.IMG of=/dev/fd0 bs=1024

If your 3.5" drive is the second drive, use /dev/fd1 instead of /dev/fd0
in this step and step 3.  If you see a "/mnt/cdrom/LINUX/SMFLOPPY.IMG:
no such file or directory" error, try the command

	dd if=/mnt/cdrom/linux/smfloppy.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=1024

since some older Linux CD-ROM drivers lowercased file names on the CD.
If this works, you should use an all lowercase file name in step 3,
below, also.

3.  Remove diskette one from the drive and put the diskette 2 into the
drive.  Type the following command

	dd if=/mnt/cdrom/LINUX/DTFLOPPY.IMG of=/dev/fd0 bs=1024

4.  At this point, the PowerQuest ServerMagic 3.0 diskette set is
complete.  Replace diskette one in your floppy drive and reboot the
computer to run ServerMagic.

PROCEDURE FOR CREATING DISKETTES MANUALLY UNDER MS-DOS

1.  Place the ServerMagic CD-ROM in the computer's CD-ROM drive.
Change to the drive letter of the CD-ROM drive and change to the LINUX
directory.

2.  Insert diskette one into your 3.5" 1.44 Mb diskette drive and type

	FDWRITE SMFLOPPY.IMG A:

Substitute the MS-DOS drive letter of the diskette drive for A: if it
is not A:.

3.  After the FDWRITE program finishes, insert diskette 2 into your
diskette drive and type

	FDWRITE DTFLOPPY.IMG A:

Again, substitute the MS-DOS drive letter of the diskette drive for
A: if it is not A:.

4.  At this point, the PowerQuest ServerMagic 3.0 diskette set is
complete.  Replace diskette one in your floppy drive and reboot the
computer to run ServerMagic.
