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