Quick Start
This chapter provides a quick overview of the steps required to set up and use
HP Remote Assistant. If you have experience setting up computer hardware and
software you can use the following section as a brief installation guide. The
installation of the HP Remote Assistant accessory board requires the prior completion
of system installation and configuration. It assumes that you have a bootable CD-ROM
drive, and 8 MB of unallocated space on your hard disk for a Utility Partition. At any
point, you can refer to the more in-depth description of the process starting with
Chapter 2.
