Preparing a server so users can install over a network

If you want users to install their software from a network server rather than pass around the original Macintosh floppy disks, you must copy the disks to a server as follows:

Create a new folder on the server and name it (for example, Network Install).

Insert Printer Disk 1 for Macintosh.

Drag the Printer Disk 1 icon onto the icon of the folder.

IMPORTANT You must drag the disk icon rather than copying the contents of the disk directly.

4Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each Macintosh printer disk.

5Open the folder you created in step 1.

The contents of each disk are contained in a folder named for that disk.

6Open the Printer Disk 1 folder.

7Click to select the Installer and Installer Script icons and drag the icons from the Printer Disk 1 folder to the folder you created in step 1.

The Installer and the Installer Script need to be in the same window as the folders for the disks you copied.

IMPORTANT Be sure to tell the users in your group where to find the software and the name of the folder to look for on the server.
