2. Switch on the computer.

3. Insert an initialized floppy disk in an external floppy drive.

If you have only one floppy drive and no hard drive, you'll have to eject the

System Startup disk and insert an initialized disk after starting the

Installer. The installation process will involve many disk swaps as you copy

the necessary files from the system software disks to the disk on which the

system is being installed. Simply follow the instructions on the screen when

the computer prompts you to switch disks.

4. Open the System Startup icon.

5. Open the Installer icon.

The Installer's Welcome dialog box appears.

6. Click OK to clear the Welcome box.

The Installer's main dialog box appears.

7. If you want to install system software on a disk other than the one named

in the dialog box, click the Switch Disk button until you see the correct

name.

8. Click Install.

The Installer begins to install the system software. Messages on the screen

report the progress of the installation and let you know when you need to

swap disks.

9. Whenever the computer prompts you, insert the System Additions disk.

When the computer needs information from the System Additions disk, it ejects

the System Startup disk and displays a message asking you to insert the other

disk.

If you want to cancel the installation, click the Stop button.

10. When you see a message reporting that the installation was successful,

click Quit.

The Installer window closes. (If you see a message saying that the

installation was not successful, you will need to begin the process again.)

11. Choose Restart from the Special menu to begin working with your new

startup disk.

The computer ejects the disks in the floppy disk drives, and the computer

restarts. Reinsert the newly created startup disk into a disk drive when you

see the icon of a disk with a blinking question mark.

If this is the first time system software has been installed on the disk, a

dialog box may appear asking you to name the Macintosh.

12. If a dialog box appears asking you to name your computer, type a name in

the dialog box -- your name is fine -- and click OK.
