'tar -xvzf . An .iso file is unpacked.

Workstation use the 'cdrecord' utility: 'cdrecord -v -eject speed=16 dev=2,0,0 
filename.iso' where dev= is the device address for the CD-ROM burner that comes 
from 'cdrecord --scanbus'.

3. Insert first disc from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Update 7 box set, when 
prompted. 

4. Select the option for loading Linux that best suits your needs:

- 'gui' for a custom installation that leverages all RPMS needed to enable your 
HP hardware.

WARNING: The 'gui' option erases your hard drive and rewrites new disc 
partitions.

- 'install' for a HP identified installation that leverages all RPMS needed to 
enable your HP hardware, as well as specific RPMS identifed to optimize your HP 
Workstation experience.

5. When prompted at the end of the installation for additional software, insert 
the HP Driver CD you've made from this .iso.

6. Continue following prompts until the operating system is sucessfully 
installed.
