"SMALL FOOTPRINT" CD-ROM OPERATION
We are pleased to introduce a new feature for Micro Star CD-ROM
products-- the "small footprint" CD. What this means to you is saving
space on your hard drive. All of the applications which are included on
the CD-ROM will run directly from the CD without being installed to your
computer's hard drive.
Instead of installing all of the program files, we have licensed a special
utility program which saves only the essential information to your hard
drive. Here is how it works:
In DOS, change to your CD-ROM drive and simply enter MENU. The utility
will be started in memory (using only 3Kbytes) and the menu will start.
NOTE: In some cases, DOS programs may not run from the menu. This
can happen because the menu is memory resident and, in some cases, may
use enough program memory so that there isn't enough left for programs.
If this happens, enter MENU to start the utility program and start the menu.
EXIT the menu and change to the directory containing the program that you
want to run. Start the program; you will still be able to run the program
directly from the CD with the DOS writes redirected to the hard drive.
If you get an "Insufficient Memory" error, you don't have enough free RAM
to run the game. You need about 3MB of free RAM. If you have DOS 6 or later,
boot your system and hold the left-shift key as the "Starting MS-DOS..."
message appears. This will bare-boot your system. Your best bet would be to
make a CONFIG.SYS menu for a custom boot -- see page 97 in your MS-DOS 6
User's Manual. If you have DOS 5.0 or earlier, you must create a bare boot
disk.
