Q:

I have all the installation packages in emails, but no floppy disks. How do I install the software from the .pkg files?

A:

  1. Create a folder in your home dir called WetPaint (or whatever product it is).

  2. Create 4 folders inside there called WetPaintDisk1, WetPaintDisk2, WetPaintDisk3, WetPaintDisk4.

  3. Drag each .pkg file into its respective folder.

    Be sure to check the timestamps on the mail to make sure the order is correct.

    You should have something that looks like this:

    WetPaint/WetPaintDisk1/WetPaint.pkg

    WetPaint/WetPaintDisk2/WetPaint.pkg

    WetPaint/WetPaintDisk3/WetPaint.pkg

    WetPaint/WetPaintDisk4/WetPaint.pkg

  4. Open up a Terminal window and type this:

    cd <return>

    cat WetPaint/WetPaintDisk?/WetPaint.pkg/WetPaint.tar.Z.? | zcat | tar xvf -

    This will print a list of information in the Terminal window and when it's done you should have WetPaint.app installed in your home directory.
