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.
