Chapter 2. Installing VMjPC
About This Chapter
The program files and data files that make up the VM/PC
product are stored on six diskettes that you can find at the
back of this book. You will have to move many of those files
onto your system before you can use the functions they
provide. The process of moving the needed files to your
system is called "installation."
In this chapter, we will cover these topics dealing with
installation:
• We will take you through a list of things that need to be
checked before beginning the installation process.
• We will ask you to make backup copies of your VM/PC
Distribution Diskettes.
• We will guide you step-by-step through the VM/PC
installation process. As you go through each step, you
may need to make some choices about files already on
your system.
If
so, we will tell you what you need to
consider in making each choice.
We will tell you about the amount of space on your fixed
disk(s) that VM/PC needs during installation and
afterward.
• We will tell you what to do if, for some reason,
something goes wrong during the installation process.
• We will tell you how to repeat the installation process.
You will want to know this if something goes wrong
during installation or if the copy of VM/PC you
installed on your fixed disk becomes damaged.
