Installation of the software

The installation of the drivers for the Catweasel is done by the installation script on the disk. Just insert the disk into an Amiga-diskdrive (the Catweasel drives don't work yet!) and double-click the install_me icon. If your computer doesn't have a diskdrive (any more?), you can download the drivers directly from the vendor's mailbox: +49 241 12099 (will automatically detect analog V.everything/digital 64kbit X.75 call). Most of the words in that mailbox are German - maybe your reseller has also got a mailbox with the drivers online. The vendor's web site is www.jschoenfeld.com, and a copy of that site can be found on http://home.foni.net/~amiga. Due to the large amount of data, only a few files are available on the web site. If you need the whole disk, call the mailbox.

Addendum to the online manual: The text above has been written in 1997. Today, some 100Kbytes are no problem on the web at all. Download the whole driverdisk here if you do not have a different chance to get it on your harddrive.

If you want to run the installation script without the disk, you must first issue the command

in a Shell where «pathname», is the path with the unpacked files of the Catweasel- disk. If you're running the installation script off the disk, this command is not necessary.
Start the installation script by double-clicking the "Install_me"-icon and answer the questions you'll be asked. After this procedure, the software is installed as you wish. During installation you'll be asked if you want a dosdriver to be mounted directly after bootup, or if you want to mount it later. This is done in order not to have a pile of XXX:????-icons on the workbench screen every time you insert a disk. If this doesn't disturb you, you can mount the drives directly after bootup. You can mount a drive later by entering

in a Shell. With the command «mount th0:» you'll mount a trackdisk-1,76 MB disk for example.
