4.0 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:
PLEASE NOTE:
1. The distribution diskette is already installed for
the APC. Therefore the files INSTALL.CMD and
STARTUP.PRG are not on your distribution diskette.
2. If you will be using a hard disk, refer to the MS-DOS
Release Bulletin, Section 6, for instructions on
formatting the disk drive.
3. To use the MS-DOS COpy command on a single drive
system, you will need to use a CONFIG.SYS file to
assign addition~l disk buffers. To do this:
a) Create a file named CONFIG.SYS on your bootable
~lS-DOSsystem diskette,' using EDLIN or the COpy
command. This file must contain the statement:
BUFFERS=lO
If CONFIG.SYS already exists on your system
diskette, edit it to delete any other BUFFERS=
statement, and add the BUFFERS=lO statement.
The most convenient way to create CONFIG.SYS is to
use the COpy command to copy from the keyboard to
the CONFIG.SYS file as follows: (User input is
denoted by lower case, but may be entered in either
upper or lower case.)
A>copy con config.sys Press
buffers=lO Press
Press Press
1 File(s) copied

A>
b) Reboot the system diskette. (Press and hold the
and keys together, in
that order. When the screen clears, release the
keys)
