How to Create Diskettes for Software Installation

To create a set of diskettes for use in installation, as an alternative to installing from the Xircom CD-ROM, you will need access to a system with both diskette and CD-ROM drives available, and two or more blank formatted diskettes.

Run the program MAKEDISK.BAT from the Xircom CD-ROM using Start, Run. Follow the onscreen instructions to copy and label the diskettes. When the Installation and Setup instructions refer to the Xircom CD-ROM, use the appropriate diskette instead.
 
Note Note: User documentation is not copied by MAKEDISK.BAT. You can access user documentation at any time from the Xircom CD-ROM, using Internet Explorer or Netscape, by double-clicking the file INDEX.HTM in the HTML folder.
