Performing a Custom Install
If you wish to install or update only specific portions of the Mac OS, you can perform
a Custom Install by following these steps.
Note: If you are installing system software onto a new hard drive, make sure that the
drive has been formatted. You may use FWB’s Hard Disk Toolkit, included with your
Genesis MP, to format the drive, or use the software that came with the drive. If your
boot drive needs to be reformatted, boot from your Genesis MP Boot Disk to get your
machine up and then format the drive with the formatting software.
1. Turn off Genesis MP.
2. Insert your Genesis MP Boot Disk into the floppy drive and turn on your Genesis MP.
3. Insert the Apple system software CD-ROM into the CD-ROM player.
4. Open Install System Software and click Continue.
5. Select Custom Install from the pop-up menu in the upper left corner of the window.

6. Select the system software components you wish to install. You may get information
about each component by clicking on the i to the right of each component. If you
wish to select only individual items of a component, click on the arrow to the left of
the component.
7. Be sure that the drive you wish to install the system software on is selected as the
Destination Disk. If it’s not, click Switch Disk until the correct drive appears.
8. Click on the Install button.
9. Once the installation is completed, you will need to install your Genesis MP software
located on the DayStar Genesis MP CD-ROM if you have not already done so.
