Doing a normal installation

Follow the steps in this section to do what is commonly called a “normal”
installation of system software.

If you’re installing system software on a new hard disk for the first time, make
sure that your hard disk has been initialized, a process that prepares the disk
to store information. (You initialize a disk using either the Drive Setup
program or the recommended hard disk utility that came with the hard disk.
Your internal hard disk was initialized at the factory.)

To do a normal installation, follow these steps:

1

Start up your computer from the CD that came with your computer or from the first

system software installer disk you made with Floppy Disk Maker (see Appendix D).

If you’re starting up from the CD, hold down the x-Shift-Option-Delete keys
as the computer starts up.

2

Locate the Install Mac OS icon and double-click it.

You see the following screen.
