This chapter describes the differences between Red Hat Linux/Alpha and Red Hat Linux/Intel
installations. While it provides a good overview of these differences,
you should read the Official Red Hat Linux Installation Guide first. Concentrate
on the chapters describing the installation process, because they will
refer you to the appropriate parts of this document at the appropriate
times.
You may need more information to help you with your Red Hat Linux/Alpha
setup. Other documents, available on the Web, provide Alpha-related
information:
The Alpha Miniloader HOWTO at ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/Digital/Linux-Alpha/Miniloader/docs/HOWTO/milo.howto.php3
contains in-depth information about the MILO miniloader.
The SRM (System Reference Manual) Firmware HOWTO at http://www.alphalinux.org/faq/srm.php3
describes how the SRM firmware may be used to boot Linux.
A Brief Introduction to Alpha Systems and Processors at http://www.alphalinux.org/faq/alpha-sys.php3
contains an overview of the Alpha architecture.
Please Note: Many people will find the previous information to be very
useful. However, this information is provided by sources outside of
Red Hat, Inc. Therefore, it may contain descriptions of procedures that
are not supported by Red Hat, Inc. For a description of Red Hat, Inc.'s
