STACKER NOTE STACKER NOTE
Title: STACKING A FLOPPYLESS NOTEBOOK COMPUTER
(Applies to Stacker for Windows & DOS 3.0x)
STAC FAX 3003 (6/93)
_______________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND
You can intall Stacker 3.0 on a notebook computer that has
only a C drive if it can transfer files to and from a second
larger computer. You must start the installation on the
larger computer.
PROCEDURE
The Setup procedure explains most of your choices on the
screen. The Stacker for Windows & DOS User's Guide contains
additional information. This procedure varies somewhat to
allow you to install Stacker on a floppyless notebook.
1. Create a STACKER directory on the C drive of the
notebook. Change to the C drive and type:
MD STACKER <Enter>
2. Transfer the Stacker files from the larger computer to
the STACKER directory on the notebook.
If Stacker has been installed on that computer, the
files are probably in a directory named C:\STACKER.
Otherwise you can transfer them from the floppy disks.
3. Edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT file on the notebook's C drive.
To the end of the PATH statement, add
;C:\STACKER
If there is no PATH statement, add this line:
PATH C:\STACKER
4. To change to the STACKER directory on the C drive,
type:
CD STACKER <Enter>
5. To personalize Stacker, type:
SETUP /=F <Enter>
When Setup asks you to insert a disk, choose Exit to
end Setup.

Space", choose Free Space.
9. In the "Space to Use" field, type 1 to build an empty
Stacker drive that is 1 MB in size, then choose
"Stack".
10. When the Stacker drive is created, let Setup restart
your computer to mount the new drive as D.
11. Use this command to copy the Stacker files to the empty
Stacker drive:
COPY C:\STACKER\*.* D:\ <Enter>
12. To start compressing the data on C drive, type:
D:\SETUP <Enter>
13. Select drive C.
14. When offered a choice between "Entire Drive" and "Free
Space", choose Entire Drive.
15. Next, choose "Stack".
16. When the Stacker drive is created, let Setup restart
your computer to mount the new drive.
17. After Setup restarts your computer, type:
CD \STACKER <Enter>
18. To remove the temporary drive D, type:
REMOVDRV D: <Enter>
19. Edit the CONFIG.SYS file on drive C: to remove the
reference to the temporary D drive. The line should
read as follows:
DEVICE=C:\STACKER\STACKER.COM C:\STACVOL.DSK
20. Restart your computer again. Drive C is now a Stacker
drive.
