Apple 9600 manual Installing programs over a network

After you insert the disk containing your application program, follow the instructions that came with the program to install it.

To eject a floppy disk or CD-ROM disc after installation is complete, click the disk icon to select it and choose Put Away from the File menu.

IMPORTANT Never copy an entire CD-ROM disc to your hard disk. (Don’t drag the disc’s icon to your hard disk.) Copying the CD-ROM disc itself can take up a substantial amount of space on your hard disk. When you open programs on some CD-ROM discs, you may get a message telling you to copy or install the program onto your hard disk. If you get this message, refer to the installation instructions that came with the CD-ROM disc, or double-click the CD-ROM disc’s icon to open it, and then copy the CD-ROM disc’s program to your hard disk.

Installing programs over a network

If your computer is connected to a network, there may be application programs available on the network that you can install. Though you can run installer programs over a network, it is usually faster to first copy the program and its installer onto your computer, and then run the installer to complete the installation. Carefully read any Read Me file or other instructions you find with the program you want to install.
