Installation

The installation process consists of three primary stages:

1. Copying the required program files
2. Running the SETUP program
3. Installing the system files

Detailed explanations of each SETUP option are provided in the following sections, along with descriptions of all required system files.

Important

Never use your original Color 64 distribution disks for anything other than the master source of the stock BBS files. Always work from backup copies. It is strongly recommended that you create backups before beginning installation to prevent accidental loss or corruption of the original files.

Before starting, ensure that you have sufficient uninterrupted time to complete the process. A careful and focused installation will reduce the likelihood of configuration errors.

The installation steps are organized as follows:

• Copying Over the Files
• Creating the Boot Files
• Boot Program ("+") Details
• SETUP Parameters
• Prior to Running
• The System Messages
• Help & Text Files
• Email Notification Option
• Preconfigured Builds
