2.7 Starting RSS
You are now ready to start RSS on your computer. This subsection, which takes about 30 minutes,
explains when to install, reinstall or discard the RSS diskettes, then guides you through installing RSS on
a hard disk, and finally lists how to start RSS with the appropriate executable command.
If your computer has a hard disk, we recommend running RSS from the hard disk whenever possible, as
the response time with it is faster and the files are less susceptible to external damage.
