# Installing DLG

Every effort has gone into making first-time installation of DLG as easy as possible. However, a great many things must be done and there is of course a possiblity that the installer will not operate properly under your unique set of circumstances. While this chapter does not cover all the bases, it will perhaps give you the means to overcome the occasional problem that you might encounter. If not, you will need to contact Digerati Dreams directly to rectify the problem. We will do all we can to help satisfy your needs in this regard.

## System Requirements

DLG's requirements are modest but absolute - if your system does not at least match this profile, you will not be able to run DLG at all.

- AmigaDOS release 3.0 or later
- At least 512 kB of RAM. More is recommended. Fast RAM will give best results. Additional lines will incur roughly 100 kB per line additional overhead (peak usage).
- A hard drive with at least 5 MB of free space. You will need a minumum of 3 MB of space to store the software and additional space for file and message areas. While in theory you can operate entirely off of floppies, it is strongly recommended against.
- At least one modem.

While DLG may work with OS 2.04, V3.0 is the minimum supported OS.

Users of the ARP shell will find that it will cause crashes with DLG. Under OS 3.0 there should be no good reason to use the ARP shell, anyway.

## Register your software!

Included with your software is a registration card. We encourage you to register your software as soon as you purchase it. Your registration card contains a serial number. Always refer to that serial number when initiating a support request with Digerati Dreams.
