This chapter briefly explains some general procedures which will be used throughout the installation. Please make sure you understand these few topics before you modify your system.
On a Windows NT/2000/XP box, all software should be installed with administrator privileges. This ensures that all users of the computer will be able to use the software without problems. Some packages won't install at all without administrator rights. Obviously this does not apply to Windows 95/98/ME, as with these operating systems every user is allowed to wreak havoc on the system (Windows ME has some recovery tools that try to save your butt after you screwed it up. They kindof sell you a car that crashes into the guardrails once per mile, but look: you get a toolbox and a rope for free! <Sorry - couldn't resist>).
