Installing Software; Operating System Support - Compaq Armada 4200 Reference Manual

Installing Software

An application software program performs a specific task, such as
database management, word processing, financial management, or
graphic illustration.
Application software is different than system software or
operating systems, which maintain and organize the system. Each
application program usually includes its own installation program
and documented installation procedures.
Before installation, read the documentation that came with the
application to ensure that your computer meets the disk space,
memory, operating system, and monitor requirements of the
application.

Compaq supplemental software and drivers if you are replacing
your preinstalled operating system with another operating system.
