FootPrint V1.4.
Jim Olsen SUPERWARE
All Rights Reserved.
--------------------
- After reviewing user's feedback, I've decided to add
tech support issues into this part of the documentation
Installing FootPrint
---------------------
- Because FootPrint can be used before a software install,
automatically, or as an auditing tool, there are 3 different
install procedures.
- To use FootPrint in the automatic or software install modes,
just copy FP.EXE to a DOS path directory, such as C:\DOS or
C:\UTILS.
- Type PATH at the DOS prompt to figure out which directory is a
Path directory.
- Refer to the installation guide in FP.DOC for exact install
procedures.
Converting From HardTrack.
--------------------------
You must rename all .HDT files to .FPT as follows:
1) Run your old version of HDT. Use the configure option and
write down the TRACKER PATH.
2) Exit to DOS and change to the TRACKER Directory. EG. 'CD\HDT'
3) Use the DOS command 'RENAME *.HDT *.FPT' to rename the files.
4) Once complete, run FootPrint. It will recognize and process
all your HardTrack Files.
Terminology - Problem Resolution
---------------------------------
- FootPrint has been designed to be EXTREMELY easy to use.
- A FootPrint Path is the directory used to store scan files.
- Once you configure the FootPrint path, do not change it.
- You'll notice FootPrint Path prompts whenever you run an option.
- These are ONLY for Auditors use, allowing FootPrint to
be used on different PC's, using a floppy disk.
- Also, do not add a 'PC NAME'. That is also reserved for auditors.
- If you use a PC NAME, be aware it is treated as an additional
subdirectory under the FootPrint Path.
- I STRONGLY recommend that once you configure FootPrint, you do
NOT change FootPrint Path or PC NAME, unless you are auditing
several computers.
- If you have problems using option 'D - Determine Changes', it's
probably because you have not used option 'C - Create'.
- FootPrint requires a previous scan be performed before it can
determine drive changes.
