 			     INSTALLATION
 
 This distribution was prepared for Linux kernel version 1.2.13
-(BusLogic-1.2.2.tar.gz) or Linux kernel version 1.3.88 (BusLogic-1.3.2.tar.gz).
+(BusLogic-1.2.3.tar.gz) or Linux kernel version 2.0.0 (BusLogic-2.0.3.tar.gz).
 Installation in later versions will probably be successful as well, though
 BusLogic.patch may not be required.  Installation in earlier versions is not
 recommended.
 
 To install the BusLogic SCSI driver, you may use the following commands,
 replacing "/usr/src" with wherever you keep your Linux kernel source tree
-(substitute '2' or '3' for 'x' in the tar command as appropriate):
+(substitute "1.2" or "2.0" for "x.y" in the tar command as appropriate):
 
   cd /usr/src
