on users’ computers, you will repeat the process that you followed on your
own computer (as described in “Upgrading Your Own Macintosh or
PowerBook” earlier in this handbook).

User instructions

If network users are upgrading their own computers, you can provide them
with Chapter 6, “What’s New,” of the Macintosh System 7.5 Upgrade Guide. You
can order extra copies from your Apple-authorized dealer.

In addition to installation instructions, the upgrade guide contains
instructions for checking software compatibility, which is an important part of
the upgrade process. If users are upgrading without this booklet, be sure to
provide them with appropriate compatibility instructions.

Server access template

The Administrator Tools folder on the Macintosh System 7.5 Group Upgrade CD
contains brief instructions to help users connect to the upgrade server.

Customize these instructions by adding the zone, server, and volume name of
your upgrade server and then distribute copies to users.
