them in while reading this section. You can then use the completed
planning forms as you perform the installation tasks described in Part 2,
“Installing LAN Manager Workstation Software,” and the configuration
tasks described in Part 3, “Managing Your LAN Manager Software
Configuration.”
During installation, you will be asked where on the computer the
LAN Manager software should be installed. If it does not already exist,
the software creates the directory you specify. Any valid drive and
dirrectory name is acceptable. The default is C:\LANMAN.

install LAN Manager.

Free hard disk space
