Manual installation with Stacker 2.0 currently installed
JD
3/12/92

			
NOTES

For these examples of a manual installation we have assumed that the
original boot partition is lettered C:.  If your boot partition is labeled
other than C:, please replace "C:" below with the drive letter representing
your boot partition.

BACKUP YOUR HARD DISK BEFORE TRYING THE FOLLOWING.  ALSO, have a copy of
your present operating system's CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT handy for
reference.  A full understanding of the STACKER 2.0 disk compression
utility is recommended before attempting the following steps.  It is also
recommended that you NOT install the security feature of DR DOS until we
are sure DR DOS and Stacker are working properly after installation.

INSTRUCTIONS

The instructions for a manual installation on a hard disk with Stacker 2.0
already installed are as follows:

1.  	Using DISKCOPY, make a backup of the DR DOS 6.0 STARTUP diskette.

2.      Reboot with the DR DOS backup STARTUP diskette.  Eventually the
        drive will stop turning at the first installation screen.
	
3.      Break out of the installation by pressing <F10> and choosing "Exit
        to DR DOS".

4.  	From the A: prompt type EDITOR CONFIG.SYS to edit the Config.sys
     	on this backup diskette.

5.  	Add the following lines to the END of the Config.sys file:

	DEVICE=C:\STACKER\STACKER.COM C:\STACVOL.DSK
	DEVICE=C:\STACKER\SSWAP.COM C:\STACVOL.DSK /SYNC
    
        These additions will make the DR DOS 6.0 INSTALL program "Stacker
        Aware". Meaning that DR DOS INSTALL will now recognize your Stacker
        Volumes, as well as your uncompressed volume.

6.      Remove the lines: DEVICE=\SSTORDRV.SYS and DEVICE=\DEVSWAP.COM
        from this same CONFIG.SYS file.  This will disable SuperStor,
        DR DOS's disk compression utility, from being loaded from the
        backup STARTUP diskette.

7.  	Save your changes to CONFIG.SYS by performing a CTRL-K and pressing 
     	X to Save and Exit.  For additional information regarding DR DOS's 
     	EDITOR program, please see the DR DOS 6.0 User Guide.	

NOTE: Remember that the DR DOS backup STARTUP diskette is now Stacker aware.
      Now if we were to reboot from this DR DOS backup STARTUP diskette, we
      should notice the Stacker drives loading and swapping the appropriate
      drive letters.  PREPARE to determine which drive letter is mounting
      as your Stacker uncompressed volume (which drive is swapping with C:).
      We can do this by watching Stacker as it mounts.

	Swapped drives C: and __: 

        FILL in the above blank, and all of the below blanks (underscores),
        in this tip, with the drive letter representing the uncompressed
        boot partition that swaps with C:.

8.      Reboot with the DR DOS backup STARTUP diskette and note the swap
        drive as explained in the NOTE above.  Eventually the drive will
        stop turning at the first installation screen.

9.      Break out of the installation by pressing <F10> and choosing "Exit
        to DR DOS".

10.     From the A: prompt type SYS __: This will transfer the proper boot
        files from the installation diskette in drive A: to your __:
        uncompressed boot partition.  Now drive __: is a DR DOS 6.0 boot
        drive.

11.     Also from the A: prompt type SYS C:.  This will transfer the proper
        boot files from the installation diskette in drive A: to your C:
        Stacker partition.  Most importantly, this will create a new DR DOS
        Boot Sector if your hard disk was previously formatted under another
        version of the operating system.
 
12.     Move to drive __: and create a DR DOS subdirectory by typing MD
        DRDOS.

13. 	Move to drive C: and create a DR DOS subdirectory by typing MD DRDOS. 

14.     Move back to A: and copy all of the files from all of your DR DOS 6.0
        diskettes into the C: DRDOS subdirectory.  The copying is
        accomplished by typing COPY *.* C:\DRDOS from the A: prompt with
        each individual DR DOS diskette.  You may use either the original
        STARTUP or the backup STARTUP diskette here.

15. 	Move to the C:\DRDOS subdirectory by typing C:\ and then CD DRDOS.

16.     Delete COMMAND.COM, CONFIG.SYS, and AUTOEXEC.BAT from this DR DOS
        subdirectory.  These files will not be needed here.  This is
        accomplished by typing DEL <FILENAME>.

17.     Rename INSTALL.EXE to SETUP.EXE by typing REN INSTALL.EXE SETUP.EXE.

18.     Run SETUP by typing SETUP, and install each portion of DR DOS.
        Note: DO NOT INSTALL THE SUPERSTOR PORTION OF DR DOS.  SUPERSTOR
        AND STACKER CANNOT BE USED TOGETHER.

19.     Once you are configured and have DR DOS installed, choose EXIT TO
        DRDOS. DO NOT REBOOT YOUR MACHINE!

20. 	From the C:\DRDOS subdirectory type EDITOR C:\CONFIG.SYS.

21. 	Add the following lines to the end of the CONFIG.SYS file:

	DEVICE=C:\STACKER\STACKER.COM C:\STACKVOL.DSK
	DEVICE=C:\STACKER\SSWAP.COM C:\STACVOL.DSK /SYNC
	
        These additions will make your DR DOS hard disk installation
        "Stacker Aware". Meaning that DR DOS configuration files will allow
        you to recognize your Stacker Volumes as well as your uncompressed
        volume.

22.     Also, write down any of the NEW (DR DOS) drivers which are loaded
        prior to the last two lines added above.  (NOTE: This is why it is
        recommended that you have a copy of your old CONFIG.SYS and
        AUTOEXEC.BAT handy. You may now compare your old CONFIG.SYS with
        the new CONFIG.SYS DR DOS created and determine which drivers DR
        DOS has added)  Look for lines which begin with a DEVICE, HIDEVICE,
        INSTALL, or HIINSTALL command.  REMEMBER the two lines will be
        loaded from this __: drive.  This is why we have to make sure they
        are in the DRDOS subdirectory on the __: drive for CONFIG.SYS to
        find them.

23.     Save your changes to CONFIG.SYS by performing a CTRL-K and then
        press X to Save and Exit.  For additional information regarding DR
        DOS's EDITOR program, please see the DR DOS 6.0 User Guide.

24.     Copy all of the files noted in step #22 above to the DRDOS
        subdirectory on __: (__:\DRDOS).  This is accomplished by issuing a
        COPY <FILENAME> __:\DRDOS.
	  
25.     Move back to the root directory by typing a CD \.  From here, copy
        your CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT to the _: root directory (__: \).
        This is accomplished by issuing a COPY <FILENAME> __: \.

26.     Stacker and DR DOS are now installed.  You may now reboot your
        machine.
        NOTE: If Stacker detects changes in your AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS
        during boot, let Stacker make the changes by pressing a "Y".
