Compaq TaskSmart W2200 System Upgrade 1.03

Installation Instructions:

It is always a good practice to backup your system before performing any
system upgrade.  Backup your W2200 system before proceeding.

There are 4 methods for downloading and installation.  Please choose
the method which best matches your environment:

A - DIRECT METHOD (Single W2200's / direct access to public ftp site)
If you have access to Compaq's public ftp server from the W2200 system
and are only updating a single W2200 system, it is possible to download
and install this update in one step by using the Web Server Configuration
Application's System Upgrade Utility. After backing up your system proceed
to the DIRECT METHOD section. 

B - STAGING METHOD (Multiple or Single W2200 / No direct access to public
ftp site).  If you are updating multiple W2200 systems and/or you do not
have direct access to Compaq's public ftp site you will want to download
this rpm to a staging directory not necessarily located on the system(s)
you intend to update.  It is always a good practice to backup your system
before performing any system upgrade.  After backing up your system proceed
to the STAGING METHOD section.

C - CD METHOD (* For experienced Linux / Unix users only. RPM update file
has been burned to a CD-R / W2200 without access to the public ftp site or
private ftp / html server ). If you desire to burn the RPM update file to 
a cd and install from the cd drive of the unit to be upgraded follow the 
CD METHOD.  It is always a good practice to backup your system before 
performing any system upgrade.  After backing up your system proceed to 
the CD METHOD section.

D - W2200 FILESYSTEM METHOD (* For experienced Linux / Unix users only. 
RPM update file has been placed on the W2200 to be updated) If you desire 
to upgrade your W2200 system after downloading the .rpm file to the actual 
system to be updated follow the W2200 FILESYSTEM METHOD.  It is always a 
good practice to backup your system before performing any system upgrade.  
After backing up your system proceed to the W2200 FILESYSTEM METHOD 
section.
