PREV UP NEXT The Ftape Installation and Usage Guide


Chapter 5: Installation

You don't need to install this version of ftape if you are running Linux version v2.2 or higher as ftape-4.03 is already included in the kernel source tree. The kernel configuration menu will give you on-line help while configuring the ftape driver. Maybe you still want to read some passages of the `Requirements' section of this chapter. See Requirements. But otherwise you can ignore this chapter, get the ftape-tools package from the Ftape Home Page or from ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/kernel/tapes/ and proceed directly to the chapter that deals with testing the driver (see Testing ftape).
