Ermm ... You did install the rpm, didn't you?
Like 'rpm -ivh hsflin1.rpm'? From what you say, you didn't.

Doesn't surprise me. Visit www.mbsi.ca/cnxtlindrv/hsf/install.html to
find out how.

My magic laptop tells me you probably live in the vicinity of London,
somewhere around Ealing? How about the book that comes with the
commercial Red Hat box? It's definitely your best bet - and you'll find
it in London at any computer store that specializes in Linux.

Best,
