Install device drivers
Use the "Install device drivers" window to install device drivers
from the Software Selections CD or from a Software Selections
CD image on your hard disk or on an attached network drive.
Following are the features of the "Install device drivers" window.
A table displays all the device drivers that are available for installation
from the CD or CD image.
Beside each device driver, under the Install heading, is a checkbox
that indicates whether you have selected that device driver for
installation.
Information about each device driver is displayed either:
- In a window that appears when you position the mouse over the
device driver name, or
- Under each device driver name within the table
You can select between these two options in the
"Change settings" window.
The pie chart at the bottom of the "Install device drivers"
window indicates the amount of used and free space on each of your
hard disks.
Selecting a disk in this function does not affect where any
device driver will be installed.
To install a device driver:
- Click Install device drivers from the menu in the left panel.
(If the Software Selections CD is not in the CD-ROM drive, you are
prompted to insert the CD into the CD-ROM
drive or specify a hard disk
or attached network drive where a Software Selections CD image
is located.)
The table of device drivers that are available for installation is displayed.
- For the device driver that you want to install, click to select the
checkbox under the Install heading.
You can install only one device driver at a time.
- Click Install, and follow the on-screen instructions.
If the device driver you are installing cannot be installed directly
from the Software Selections CD, a message is displayed
telling you the directory path where the device-driver installation
files are located on the CD.
Write down this directory path; you might be prompted for it during the
installation process.
After you click OK to exit from the message, a file containing
installation instructions for the device driver is displayed.
Read and follow the installation instructions in that file.
To exit from the Software Selections CD, click Exit.
