NOTE:
-----

I have tried this on systems running Digital PAL code, (those that
boot through the digital unix SRM), and the Freeware Alpha PAL code, 
(those that boot with MILO). 

Run a recent kernel
-------------------

1)      You must have a kernel version >2.1.132. (Including all 2.2.X kernels)

Install the Tools/Library
-------------------------

Now you have 3 choices.  

A) RPM 
	Simply get the RPM, 
	
	rpm -i iprobe_suite-4.0-1.alpha.rpm


OR

2) make install

   Go to the root directory of the source and type 
	"make install".   This will create the nece


OR

3) Do it by hand.

You must create the following device with the following permissions:
        mknod /dev/ipr c 61 0
        chmod a+r /dev/ipr
        chmod u+w /dev/ipr

4)	copy the binaries to /usr/local/bin 
	cp ./iprobe/obj/linux_iprobe /usr/local/bin/iprobe
	cp ./ipreduce/obj/linux_ipreduce /usr/local/bin/ipreduce
	cp ./rep/obj/linux_rep /usr/local/bin/rep 

6)      You must install the library.
	cp ./lib/obj/liblipr.so /usr/local/lib/liblipr.so 

Before running iprobe, ipreduce, rep:

7)      You must insert the module.
	(-f allows you to ignore versions number. ) 	

	/sbin/insmod -f linux_iprobe_driver.o
	
10) Read the documentation in ./doc/TUTORIAL 

11) Wow the world with the speed of your highly optimized code running on
alpha/linux.
