Although the instructions below are for a single drive disc system, it is in general, simplest to follow them also if you have a twin disc system (by ignoring the second drive).
Firstly format a new system disc. Then copy all the programs from your master package disc using FILECOPY from your System/Utility disc.
Type FILECOPY *.* and follow the instructions on the screen. In particular answer N to the question:
Ambiguous filename: Confirm individual files (Y/N) ?
The FILECOPY program will inform you of the filenames as they are copied.
When the FILECOPY program has finished you will have a working copy of the turnkey disc. If you require any utilities, copy them from your System/Utilities disc using FILECOPY.
