1.3 Installing Voyager-NG
You need to have a copy of MUI3.6/7 in order to use Voyager. You might be best
installing MUI before you install Voyager. MUI can be found on the Aminet, many
shareware CD-roms's, most PD libraries or on a magazine cover CD.
Remember to use your backup disks of of Voyager before you start installation..
1.31 Open the Installer
Open the Voyager main drawer and double-click the "Install_Voyager" icon.
When you click this icon a Voyager install GUI will appear on your Workbench. This
GUI will guide you through the process of installation.
1.32 Setting the Install Mode
Before installation begins, you will be asked to specify your knowledge of the
Amiga:
| Mode | Installation |
|---|
| Intermediate | The process of installation is nearly automatic. You only need to select where you want to install Voyager, AmiTCP, MUI and then configure the AmiTCP GUI |
| Expert | Same as Intermediate mode except you are asked some extra questions about installation and further options will be presented to the "expert" user. |
Our advice is to select Intermediate mode. Most of the questions asked in Expert mode are
trivial and do not alter your use of Voyager. In fact, we would even recommend expert
users to use the Intermediate installation.
Click "proceed" to start the installation.
1.33 Where do you Want to Install Voyager?
The installer will ask you where you want to install Voyager. Make sure the
hard drive partition you want to install Voyager contains more than 1MB of free space. You
need more than 1MB to use Voyager. Our recommendation is a hard drive with more than 10MB
of space.
A Voyager drawer will be created on your hard drive. We recommend that you install
to your work: or hd1: partition (ie. with a lot of space).
Voyager will be installed to this hard drive partition and copy some essential
files to Workbench where needed.
1.34 What Version of Voyager Would You Like to Install?
You will be asked two choices. You can choose from the 68000 and 68030+ version of Voyager. If you
have an 040 or 060 choose the 6030 version. If you have an 020 machine choose the 68000 version.
1.35 What Voyager-NG Documentation Would You Like to Install?
You can chose to install the full HTML based documentation (recommended) or just the readme. You
can, of course, install both.
The readme contains very basic information and the history guide (not contained within the HTML
documentation).
1.35 Which Registration File (Language) Would You Like to Install?
In order to register your software, you need to install the registration tool. This is available
in a number of dgiferent languages.
You can also register other Vaporware products with this registration tool.
1.36 Installation Completed
A few more files will be installed and then you will be presented with an Installation Completed
GUI. Reboot your machine and you will now be able to use Voyager-NG!
