- PLEASE REPORT ALL BUGS/QUIRKS TO SUPPORT@SLIP.NET
-
-
- Installing from the SLIPNETL.EXE OR SLIP11x.EXE Downloaded File:
- ----------------------------------
-
- The file a self-extracting file of the Installation diskettes.
- You will want to create a temporary directory, run SLIPNETL.EXE (or SLIP11x.EXE)
- and install from there.
-
- You will need approximately 15MB of free disk space: 5MB to hold the temporary
- installation diskettes and 10MB to hold the installed programs. You'll be able
- to erase the temporary installation directory as well as the SLIPNETL.EXE
- once you've completed the installation.
-
- Please note that the SLIPNETL.EXE is too big to fit onto a single diskette
- If you would like to copy the Slip.Net Launcher and give it to your friends,
- please download SLIPDSK1.EXE and SLIPDSK2.EXE and self-extract each of them
- to separate diskettes from ftp.slip.net/pub/windows/launcher.
-
- Here's a step-by-step cheat sheet on how to get the installation program going:
-
- This assumes that you've downloaded SLIPNETL.EXE into "your_download_path"
- somewhere on your hard drive.
-
- Shell to DOS by clicking on the MS-DOS icon.
-
- From MS-DOS:
- c:> cd\
- c:\> md tempslip
- c:\> cd tempslip
- c:\tempslip> c:\your_download_path\slipnetl
-
- This last command will self-extract the SLIPNETL.EXE into your c:\tempslip
- directory.
-
- Now type EXIT to return to windows. Choose File Run from the Windows Menu.
- Type in C:\TEMPSLIP\SETUP and click on OK. From this point you'll be guided
- through the installation process using our installation program.
-
- When you've completely installed the program, you can delete the contents of
- the c:\tempslip directory. If you don't plan on ever re-installing, you can
- also delete the SLIPNETL.EXE file that you downloaded to save even more disk
- space.
-
- If you have problems or suggestions, please email support@slip.net or
- call us at 415.281.3177.

-
- Extracting the Installation Files to Diskettes:
- ----------------------------------------------
- Download from ftp.slip.net the following files:
-
- SLIPDSK1.EXE
- SLIPDSK2.EXE
-
- You will need to unzip each of the above self-extracting files onto a diskette
- or into subdirectories labeled DISK1 and DISK2.
-
- To extract to diskettes, put a blank diskette in drive A, change to drive A:
- and type C:SLIPDSK1. This will unzip the setup and other needed files.
- Now put a blank diskette in drive B and type C:SLIPDSK2. Now put diskette 1
- back in drive A: and proceed from below.
-
- Alternatively, you could create directories labeled DISK1 and DISK2 to immitate
- diskettes.
-
- Once you've unzipped everything into directories or diskettes, you can safely
- safely erase the .EXE files SLIPDSK1.EXE AND SLIPDSK2.EXE to clear
- room on your hard drive.
-
- To run from the Floppy Diskettes you made from the .EXE Files:(good for sharing)
- -------------------------------------------------------------
- Put Disk #1 into your A or B diskette drive. Go into your
- Program Manager and choose File/Run. Type A:\setup or B:\setup with the
- diskette labeled DISK1 in the diskette drive. Now would be a good time to
- actually use those colored diskette labels that came with your diskettes.
-
- To run from your hard drive using the DISKn subdirectories: (fastest method)
- ----------------------------------------------------------
- Go into your Program Manager under Windows 3.1 and choose File/Run
- Using Browse, choose the SETUP.EXE that is located in the
- DISK1 directory. When instructed by the setup program to insert the next disk,
- just use the backspace key to change from DISK1 to DISK2.
