ID:SF QEMM: Install on a single floppy system
Quarterdeck Technical Note #193
By Yasser Taima
Q: I have a workstation with a single floppy and no hard
drive. How do I install QEMM?
A: Run the INSTALL procedure and put the files on
the network or on another machine's hard disk, then copy the
necessary files from the network or the hard disk to a
startup disk, as shown below.
QEMM refers to any of the following Quarterdeck products:
QEMM-386 for 386, 386SX, and i486 compatible PC's.
QEMM-50/60 for IBM PS/2 models 50, 60 and 50Z.
The QEMM Install program was written to make QEMM's
installation as quick and as simple as possible. You can
directly install on any drive you have EXCEPT the one housing
the QEMM diskette you're running the Install from.
This means that you cannot run the Install program on a PC
with only one diskette drive and install to the same drive, a
problem if you are on a diskless workstation and need to
install QEMM to a startup disk. Whether you are on a
networked or stand alone PC, a different approach to
installation is required.
1. If your PC is on a network:
a. Put the QEMM diskette in the diskette drive (usually A:)
and run INSTALL. Proceed with the installation steps.
To the question, "Where should QEMM and Manifest be
installed?" answer "F:\QEMMDISK", without the quotation
marks. If F: is not a network drive on your system, you
must use one of your other network drives. This will
install QEMM on the network.
b. Remove the QEMM diskette and put your network startup
diskette in the diskette drive.
i. Create a QEMM directory on the startup diskette and copy
all of the files in F:\QEMM to the A:\QEMM directory:
A:\>mkdir QEMM
A:\>cd \QEMM
A:\QEMM>copy F:\QEMM\*.* *.*
Note: If there isn't enough space on the startup diskette
for all the files, only copy the QEMM file:
A:\QEMM>copy F:\QEMM\QEMM*.SYS *.*
ii. Use your text editor to modify the config.sys file on the
startup diskette. You'll need to add the following line
to the beginning of the config.sys:
DEVICE=A:\QEMM\QEMM386.SYS
2. If your PC is not on a network:
Install the QEMM on another PC with a hard disk, then
follow the above instructions for paragraph 1.b, using C
instead of F for the drive letter.
Your startup diskette is now ready to go!
Again, please note that F: refers to a typical network drive.
If you normally use G: or H: or any other letter, replace F:
with G: or H: or that other letter.
The same applies to the non-network installation. If you use
D: or any other letter for the PC with the hard disk, replace
C: with D: or that other letter.
