Installing Mac OS 8.5
If your computer is using a version of system software earlier than Mac OS 8.1, you need to
upgrade to a newer version of Mac OS before you install AppleShare IP. Mac OS 8.5 is
provided with your software.
Before you begin the installation, turn off disk-security software that provides password
protection and At Ease software. Then follow these steps:
1 Insert the Mac OS 8.5 CD-ROM disc (which came with your AppleShare IP software) into
your computer’s CD-ROM drive.
2 Shut down your computer.
You need to do this to start up from the Mac OS CD.
3 Turn on your computer while holding down the C key on your keyboard.
Your computer starts up from the CD-ROM disc. Continue holding down the C key until you
see the screen with the smiling face.
If your computer doesn’t start up from the CD, see the section “You can’t start up the
computer using the Mac OS CD” in the Troubleshooting part of the
Mac OS 8.5 Installation
Manual . Then continue with step 4 in this book.
4 Double-click the Mac OS Installer icon, then follow the instructions onscreen.
5 When you get to the Select Destination screen, click the Options button.
6 Select the checkbox next to Perform Clean Installation, then click OK.
7 Follow the remainder of the instructions onscreen to install Mac OS 8.5.
8 After the installation is complete, click Restart to restart your computer.
The Mac OS Setup Assistant opens.
9 Use the Mac OS Setup Assistant and Internet Setup Assistant to enter system settings for your
computer. Or if you prefer, you can enter these settings without the help of the Assistants by
following the instructions in “Creating Network Settings” on page 14.
10 Because you performed a clean installation, you need to drag any third-party software
extensions and fonts from your previous System Folder to your new System Folder, or
reinstall the third-party software.
For more information and troubleshooting help, see your Mac OS 8.5 Installation Manual .

Internet.)
