Intel does not guarantee functionality on any specific Linux distribution although both rpm and tar installations are available >to accommodate the most common needs. > >Download either the RPM's files or the TAR's files depending on which your distribution prefers. You do not need both. Please also download >the documentation as it is not included in the packages. Source patches are provided for development only, they are not necessary for a >typical install. > >Minimum Requirements: > >XFree86 3.3.5 >Kernel version 2.2.X >Glibc 2.1 >Gcc They have RPM's, Tarballs and patches.
