-----------------RELEVANT TO USERS INSTALLING TELIX ON SYSTEMS---------------
-----------------WITH ONLY ONE FLOPPY DRIVE AND NO HARD DRIVE.---------------
The Telix 3.20 installation program, INSTALL.EXE, will work on any system
having either two floppy drives, or one floppy drive and at least one hard
drive. While Telix itself can work on a system having only a 720k floppy drive,
special steps must be taken to install Telix on such a system.
The easiest way to accomplish the installation is to temporarily create a
ramdrive, and copy the Telix installation disk files to this ramdrive before
running install. This will allow the floppy drive to be used to install to.
For example, if you are using the RAMDRIVE.SYS ramdisk device driver that
comes with DOS 3.2 or later, you can create a 360k ramdrive by using an editor
to add the line
DEVICE=RAMDRIVE.SYS 360
to the CONFIG.SYS in the root directory of your boot disk (this assumes that
the file RAMDRIVE.SYS is also in the root directory). To proceed, reboot the
system so that the ramdrive takes effect, put the Telix distribution disk in
drive A:, and copy the files to the ramdrive by typing
COPY A:*.* C:
Then run the install program by typing
C:INSTALL
Note that you will need a blank disk to install to... If you can not find
RAMDRIVE.SYS, another possibility is VDISK.SYS, which comes with PC-DOS 3.0 or
later. MAKE SURE TO REMOVE THE RAMDRIVE WHEN YOU ARE DONE, IT USES MEMORY!
