Installation Steps

  1. Insert Disk 1 into your Mac's floppy drive. A new window should appear on your desktop.

  2. Double-click on the ``Lecture Installer'' icon in that window.

  3. The installer will ask you to insert the other disks one by one. After inserting a disk, the installer will show you a dialog box listing a file on that disk. Double-click on that file's name.

  4. After installation is complete, return the disks to the MSM Library. Keep a copy of these instructions.

  5. The installer should have created two new folders on your desktop or hard disk. Find the folder named ``Netscape1.0N'', and double-click on it to open it. Note also where the new folder named ``100'' is located.

  6. Double-click on the ``Netscape1.0N'' application's ``N'' icon to start the Netscape Navigator.

  7. After the Netscape Navigator has started up, find the ``Open File...'' item under the ``File'' menu, and select it.

  8. If your Mac has a good Internet connection, you can just trash the ``100'' folder and keep the Netscape Navigator. Use the ``Open Location...'' item in the ``File'' menu instead, and type in the URL: http://www.seismo.unr.edu/ftp/pub/louie/class/100/100-earthquakes.html . Otherwise, proceed as below.

  9. In the file opening dialog that comes up, locate the ``100'' folder, open it, and find the ``100-earthquakes.html'' file name in the list. Double-click on that name.

  10. You should see a list of the lecture topics come up. You can click on any underlined word to explore that topic.

  11. Please send any comments to John Louie.
