Installation...                        MARInA System © TNE) 1998


System-Requirements:

    Workbench 3.x
    at least 68030, 40MHz, 1MB CHIP / 4MB FAST RAM.
    Screens >640x480 Pixels. optimal >= 800x600. min. 4 colors

    Harddisk-Space needed: some 4 MB on SYS:  (Huge? See below!)


Installing MARInA...

    * First, please consult the Aminet to get the newest
      ToolManager3.1 archive. Install it if possible by
      using the install-procedure's default settings...
      so far if it doesn't run already on your system.

    * Then, reserve about 15-30 minutes for the installation
      of MARInA. This is required, because while installing,
      you will go through a little tutorial as well as
      configuring MARInA to your needs.

    * Read across the guide after having read this text ...

    * As soon as you click the button "Install..." inside
      the Guide (Side 4), the interactive installation gets
      started in your locally preferred language (if not
      german, english will be the automatically preconfigured
      language at the moment).

    * All further actions are explained and gone through
      step by step now. You may quit everytime you want,
      the installation will run interactively.
   
    * If error messages, such as "version failed ..." will
      appear in a Shell-window while the installer is running
      don't worry... this has no influence to the install-
      procedure. This may occur, when the version command of
      the workbench is called by MARInA, which reacts buggy
      when checking some special files/programs and then
      complains in the described way.

    * Please, follow the instructions. Thanks.

    * All further information will be explained
      (including the functional concept of the software).

Needed Harddisk-Space:

The left column shows the space in MBytes for each unpacked
MARInA-Packet.

The middle column shows the needed space for each MARInA
Packet on your system partition (SYS:).

The right column shows the needed space for each MARInA Packet's 
online-parts. Because MARInA finally makes all online-help
manuals directly available to the user (on the fingertip),
I would heavily suggest you to let install all online-help parts
of MARInA to your system as well. Even more, online-help is
a must for modern systems (see UNIX, Windows, ... ).

... everyone should have place for that - who on earth likes
rolling paper, when everything could be easily done directly
on the computer?

This, indeed, seems to be huge, but within MARInA you will get
tons of proofed and preconfigured programs out of aminet/util/cli
readily installed to your system. Perhaps, you may later erase some
of their duplicates which already reside on your system (SYS:c/ e.g.).
Your system path has been enhanced by the installtion to make those
binaries available to your shell as well as to MARInA.
