Installing and Using Software
4
Your SuperMac C600x computer came with many applications already
installed. You start these applications by clicking their button
s in the
Launcher.
Backup copies of all your computer’s preinstalled applications, and
the Mac OS, are on
the CD-ROM discs that came with your SuperMac
C600x. These CD-ROM discs also contain some additional applications
that you can copy to your hard disk.
If necessary, you can use the CD-ROM discs to start up your computer
or to reinstall the system software. (See “Starting Up From a CD-ROM
disc” and “Installing or Reinstalling System Software” in chapter 5.
)
Installing Application Programs
You will probably want to install additional application programs.
Use the manuals you receive with the programs for instructions on
installing and using them.
You’ll install an application program on your internal hard disk from
floppy disks or from CDs that contain the program. The following
illustration shows how to insert a floppy disk into your SuperMac
C600x computer’s floppy disk drive.
Insert the floppy disk metal end
first, into the floppy disk drive.
