Be sure to check with your network system administrator before installing any

new software -- particularly printer drivers.

- at least 1 megabyte of RAM (random-access memory)

- at least one connection to an AppleTalk network -- LocalTalk, EtherTalk,

and TokenTalk networks all support AppleTalk. (Hint: if you currently print

to a LaserWriter printer, you are connected to an AppleTalk network.)

- at least one floppy disk drive or a hard disk

- the AppleShare Workstation disk

Installing AppleShare file service software

1. Insert the AppleShare Workstation disk into a floppy disk drive.

2. Open the Installer.

Double-click the disk icon, and then double-click the Installer icon in the

window. You then see the Installer screen.

3. Click Install.

When the installation is complete, you'll see a message that installation was

successful.

4. Click Restart.

Reducing the size of your system disk If you start your computer from a

floppy disk and you have added several desk accessories or system files, you

may find that you have less and less room for your own programs and

documents. To compensate for this, you can start with a minimal system disk

that contains the System Folder files that originally came with your

Macintosh, such as the Finder, Control Panels, and so on, and AppleShare.

Then you can use products that allow you to store desk accessories, fonts,

and other files on another floppy disk. Consult your network administrator or

Apple sales representative for more information.
