Installing onto a server

If you prefer that users install their software from a network server rather than passing around the original floppy disks or CD-ROM disc, you must copy the LaserWriter installation software to a server as follows:

Preparing a server using the CD-ROM disc

Double-click the disc icon, if necessary.

Double-click the MACINTOSH folder, if necessary.

Drag the INSTALL folder from the CD to your server.

Preparing a server using the floppy disks

Create a new folder on the server and rename it (for example, Network Install). Insert LaserWriter Disk 1 for Mac OS.

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

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