Step 2: Use the Installer

If you have used the Safe Install Utility and followed the instructions in your

report, you’re ready to install the system software.

To install the new system software, follow these steps:

IMPORTANT

If you are installing from a CD onto a Macintosh with a

non-Apple CD-ROM drive, make a backup copy of the System 7.5 software

before you begin installation. If you encounter problems during installation,

you can install System 7.5 from the backup disks. (You won’t be able to use

your CD-ROM drive again until the System 7.5 software is installed on your

computer. The startup disk that comes with your CD recognizes only Apple

CD-ROM drives.) For instructions and disk images, see the Back-up CD

folder on your CD.

If you are installing on a PowerBook, make sure your PowerBook is plugged

in and set not to go to sleep. For instructions, see the manual that came with

your computer.

1 Quit any open application programs or desk accessories.

2Insert the

Install Disk 1

disk into a floppy disk drive and open the disk by double-clicking

its icon.

All system software files are compressed. The Installer program will expand

them during installation. Do not drag them to your hard disk.

If you’re installing software from a CD: Open the System Install folder (inside

the Installation folder) on the CD.

If you’re installing software over a network: Find the Installer on your file

server. If you’re not sure where it is, ask your network administrator.

3 Open the Installer by double-clicking its icon.
