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.
