  <H2><A NAME="10"></A>8. Installing the packages</H2>
<p>XFree86/OS2 assumes a directory hierarchy starting from <code>drive:\XFree86</code>.
This can be changed, but is strictly discouraged.</p>
<p>
<ol>
<li>Choose a HPFS partition with sufficient free space.</li>
<li>For each package to install, go to the root directory of this
drive, and type:
<blockquote><code>
<pre>
drive:&gt; cd \
drive:&gt; unzip \path_of_packages\Xxxxx.zip
</pre>
</code></blockquote>
</li>
<li>You might encounter that some packages report duplicate files, e.g.
the X server packages install corresponding README files, which are also
in the Xdoc package. This is okay, the files are the same. Let unzip
replace the files.</li>
<li>No special sequence to unpack the files is required.</li>
</ol>
