Premier Manager 3 "Not enough disk space" ?

[paul1981]

EDIT: Actually, there's one more option: installing to a small hard disk image file. But it's very complex to set up and I'm not even sure of the details. There's info kicking around the net if you want to try this route.

Also, a RAD disk would be an option as well (providing you have ram to spare). Easier than a disk image file, but the RAD mount list would have to be edited to increase its capacity to however large it needs to be. I think it's 79 cylinders for a standard floppy, so multiply that by 4 for a 4 disk install.


EDIT:
...........So the idea being once the game has installed onto your giant 'virtual floppy', you can then simply drag it across onto your hard drive............

What's a RAD disk?

The RAD icon should be located on your hard drive in the SYS:Storage/DOSDrivers drawer. If it's not there, then it'll be on your Storage disk that's part of the Workbench 2.x/3.x disk set.
Double click it and it will instantly create a virtual floppy in your computer's memory. What I'm saying is that you could copy the RAD file, rename it and edit the copy by loading it into a text editor and increasing the number of cylinders to increase the capacity of the virtual floppy to say... 4 floppies or whatever (memory permitting). Best way to learn is to play around with it yourself.

What do you mean by manual install? could you elaborate

What he means is that some games aren't copy protected and in some cases it's just a matter of copying the files over from the floppy disk(s) onto a drawer on your hard drive. If when you put the game disk in and it looks empty, try going to the Window Menu and selecting "Show -> All files".
Sometimes, they even show up as having no files at all, so in such a case a manual install isn't going to be possible.
