Installation is currently only supported from the local Macintosh
hard drive or from an AppleShare volume. This means that you'll
need at least enough room for the largest file that you will have
to install. This is the 8.6MB base13 file. There has been talk
of allowing an install from split files. If you have the time,
desire, and knowledge, please feel free to add that functionality.
If the install is being done from an AppleShare-mounted volume,
the install utility must be in the same folder as the data files.
Each distribution file is in "raw" UN*X format, and must be
downloaded in binary mode. Common web browsers are not suitable
for this task; FTP clients such as Fetch and Anarchie work fine,
but be sure to specify a binary file transfer.
You will also need to collect the MacOS tools:
Mkfs,
Installer, and
BSD/mac68k Booter.
These three are in binhexed, self-extracting archives as
Mkfs_1.45.sea.hqx, Installer_1.1f.sea.hqx, and
Booter1.11.0.sea.hqx, respectively. Extract them as you would
any other Macintosh applications. If you need them, the sources
are in the "src" subdirectory.
