IBM Professional Series - Copying VMPC to Your System

Copying VMjPC to Your System
Before giving you detailed instructions, you should have a
general idea of what the process
of copying VM/PC to your
system involves.
Basically, you:
Insert one of the
VM/PC Distribution Diskettes in drive
A
• Type the name of a VM/PC installation program that,
after you press ENTER, takes over the installation
process and tells you what to do next
• Answer any questions displayed on your screen by the
program
• And, finally, insert in drive A the remaining VM/PC
Distribution Diskettes as requested by the installation
program.
If you have satisfied the items listed in "Before You Begin,"
the entire installation process (which we describe in thirteen
steps) often takes less
than ten minutes.
When you are ready, bring up your
DOS (You MUST boot
from drive C) so
that the "C" prompt appears on your
screen; then follow these instructions:
STEP 1. Insert VM/PC Distribution Diskette 1 in drive
A.
This "Utilities" diskette contains the VM/PC
installation program and several related files.
STEP 2. Type A:INST ALL and press ENTER.
INST ALL is the name of the VM/PC installation
program.
It uses DOS commands and a program written
in Advanced
BASIC to guide you through the rest of the
installation process.
