name.

8. Click Customize.

The custom installation screen appears, with a list of all drivers provided

with the system software and (further down in the list) a choice of standard

or minimal system files for your Macintosh.

9. Scroll through the list of items and Shift-click the ones you want to

install.

As you select items, their names appear in the lower-left portion of the

dialog box. (If you select only one item, details about it appear.)

10. Click Install.

The Installer begins to install the system software. Messages on the screen

report the progress of the installation and let you know when you need to

swap disks.

11. If the computer prompts you, insert the System Additions disk.

If the computer needs information from the System Additions disk, it ejects

the System Startup disk and displays a message asking you to insert the other

disk.

If you want to cancel the installation, click the Stop button.

12. When you see a message reporting that the installation was successful,

click Quit.

The Installer window closes. (If you see a message saying that the

installation was not successful, you will need to begin the process again.)

13. Choose Restart from the Special menu to begin working with your new

startup disk.

The computer ejects the disks in the floppy disk drives, and the computer

restarts. If you do not have a hard disk, you will need to reinsert the newly

created startup disk into a disk drive when you see the icon of a disk with a

blinking question mark.

If this is the first time system software has been installed on the disk, a

dialog box may appear asking you to name the Macintosh.

14. If a dialog box appears asking you to name your computer, type a name in

the dialog box -- your name is fine -- and click OK.

You can make sure that the correct items were installed by opening the

startup disk's icon, then opening the System Folder and reviewing its

contents.
