First, place the Pharaoh CD into your CD-ROM drive.
Double-click on the icon that appears on your desk-
top. In the window that pops up, double click on the
“Pharaoh Installer” icon. Choose the Small, Medium
or Full installation (click on each to see how much disk
space it requires). Click on your choice and, holding
down your mouse button, “drag” the icon to a loca-
tion displayed in the right-hand panel.
The Small install runs most of the game’s sounds and
videos from the game CD. Choose this if you have lim-
ited space on your hard drive. The Medium install
places the most commonly used media files on your
hard disk. The Full install puts the entire game on your
hard disk for optimum performance.

detailing the additions Pharaoh made to your start
menu.
Pharaoh also offers you the option of adding
bookmarks to your internet browser.
At this point, you have the option of reading the
“Readme” file. We know you can’t wait to see what
Egypt holds for you, but we do highly recommend
reading this file before you start to play the game. This
manual went to print several weeks before the game
was finished, and any last minute changes are described
in Readme. Anytime this manual is in conflict with
Readme, Readme is correct.
Now, click the “Finish” button. If necessary, Install will
update some system components. It then might
restart your computer.
