Before you start making your disks, you’ll need to decide if you want to make a full set or a minimum set of disks. When you make a full set, you’ll make disks for your system software and the other disk images that come on your computer. When you make a minimum set, you’ll make just the essential system software disks. It is best to make a full set, so you’ll have installer disks for your system software and the other disk images that come on your computer. However, making a full set requires more disks and more time than making a minimum set. At the very least, make a minimum set of disks now. If you choose to make a minimum set, you can make disks for the other software later.
If you don’t have disks on hand, you can skip these instructions for the moment. But the sooner you make the system software disks, the better. Buy the disks as soon as possible, then return to this section and follow these instructions.
IMPORTANT Be sure you make at least a minimum set of disks as soon as possible, in case you need to reinstall your system software.
