September 1994
(FTP Version)


This is a README file for the Solaris x86 2.4 Notebook Supplement.  This
file is distributed electronically with the Notebook Supplement; you should
find the following files in the same electronic area as this one:

ns24gd.tar.Z:	The Solaris Notebook Supplement Guide in ASCII and PostScript
ns24ns.img.Z:	The Solaris Notebook Supplement diskette image
nsread.txt:	(This file)
dd.exe:		A DOS executable which may be used to place the image on a
		1.44MB diskette.

It is recommended you download and extract the Solaris Notebook Supplement
Guide (ns24gd.tar.Z) before proceeding with the installation of the Notebook
Supplement.  An ASCII text version of the guide is provided to allow on-line
viewing of the Guide.  In particular, please review Chapters 1 and 2 for
an overview of the Notebook Supplement and information on hardware
requirements.

To create the Solaris Notebook Supplement installation diskette, uncompress
the file containing the image (ns24ns.img.Z).  The uncompressed file,
ns24ns.img, is 1.44MB in size; make sure you have adequate room for this
on your system.  Place the diskette image on a formatted 1.44MB diskette; if
using a Solaris system, you may use the dd(1M) command, for example:

    dd if=ns24ns.img of=/dev/fd1 bs=18k

You will need to use the appropriate diskette device for your Solaris
system (i.e., /dev/fd0, /dev/fd1, etc.).

You may also create the Solaris Notebook Supplement diskette on a DOS
system, using the "freeware" utility dd.exe.  A typical use of the
dd.exe command is:

   dd ns24ns.img b:
