Apple Power Macintosh 4400 - Manual (Page 65)

Installing application programs
You’ll probably want to buy and install additional application programs. See
the manuals you receive with your applications for instructions on installing
and using them.
Note: Be sure you’re acting within the terms of the software license
agreement that comes with your application program before you install the
program on your computer. The license agreement specifies how many copies
of the program you can make for yourself and others.
In many cases, you’ll install an application program on your internal hard
disk from floppy disks that contain the application. (Some applications come
on CD-ROM discs. Refer to “Inserting a CD-ROM disc or other CD” in
Chapter 1 for information about using CD-ROM discs in your computer.) The
following illustration shows how to insert a floppy disk in your computer’s
disk drive.
To use your applications most effectively, follow these guidelines:
m Put only one copy of each application on your hard disk. Having more than
one copy can cause errors.
m Whenever you copy an application disk to your hard disk, be careful not to
copy a System Folder. Always check to see what you’ve copied, and drag
any extra System Folders to the Trash.
m If an application malfunctions consistently, try installing a fresh copy. If that
doesn’t help, find out from the software manufacturer whether your version
of the application is compatible with the system software you’re using.
For instructions on how to eject floppy disks, see the “Disks” topic area of
Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide (h) menu.
Insert the floppy disk, metal
end first, into the floppy disk
drive of your computer.
