Requirements: ------------ (1) 4M RAM (2) 10M (Min) available SEPARATE Hard Disk Partition (other than your boot partition) (3) An Internet Service Provider with PPP - SLIP acceptable but untested. (3) Mono Graphics mode (ST High, Falcon, TT High) (4) ST UNZIP Program, TOS/GEM based text-editor (recommend: VI.TTP) Recommendations: --------------- (1) 14.4 Modem - Appropriate Modem RTS/CTS patch (2) A Boot manager (SuberBoot, XBoot, etc.) (3) Recent version of ADHI. (Tested: 6.061) (4) Knowledge of UNIX, VI editor: Not essential but useful. Testing: ------- This system has been tested on the following system. 1040 STe - 4M RAM, SyQuest 44, ST High TT030 - 12M RAM, SCSI drive (external), TT High Falcon - 4M RAM, Internal IDE HD, ST High On all machines ADHI 6.061 was used and we connected to two different Internet Providers with a dynamic PPP connection (Internex Online and the University of Waterloo). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I have not MSA's the disks, since each disk has 1 or 2 files on it (720K). The main reason I did this is so that you can put the proper files on the proper disks yourself based on whether you have a 720K or 1.44M floppy. There are 2 setup scripts provided (one for 720K, one for 1.44M) 720K Installation Disks ----------------------- INSTALL.ZIP comes on the first disk in the TAF library (ie. disk #1) but ends up needing to be copied to your boot partition. Since this is a download version - you do not need a floppy for this file if you are downloading directly to your hard disk. If you plan to put this in a disk library of some sort, please include INSTALL.ZIP and this file (README.1ST) on a floppy labelled Disk 1. You will need 6 more floppies labelled Disks 2-7 The following files should be put on the floppies: Disk 1 - INSTALL.ZIP ; INSTALL.TXT ; README.1ST Disk 2 - 2a.tgz ; 2b.tgz Disk 3 - 3.tgz Disk 4 - 4a.tgz ; 4b.tgz Disk 5 - 5.tgz Disk 6 - 6.tgz Disk 7 - 7a.tgz ; 7b.tgz 1.44M Installation ------------------ For the 1.44M setup you will need 3 floppies labelled Disks 1-3. If you are making 1.44M distribution disks for a library please include this file (README.1ST) on Disk 1. The disks must be set up as follows: Disk 1 - README.1ST ; INSTALL.TXT ; 2a.tgz ; 2b.tgz ; 3.tgz Disk 2 - 4a.tgz ; 4b.tgz ; 5.tgz Disk 3 - 6.tgz ; 7a.tgz ; 7b.tgz ; INSTALL.ZIP ------------------------------------------------------------------------ After the disks have been set up correctly (this should already be the case if you got them from a library) print the INSTALL.TXT file on Disk 1 and read it very carefully before trying to start any installtion. A complete set of intructions are included in that file. If you can't find INSTALL.TXTon the disks, it is also included in the INSTALL.ZIP file. - Samy Mesbah sasmesba@kingcong.uwaterloo.ca .
