If all the files are actually in one folder, it should just carry on with
install as opposed to actually asking for next disk, but would really depend
on actual installation process, but most of them wouldn't actually ask for a
specific disk since they'd just be assuming that if the next file they
wanted/needed wasn't there, they needed the next disk.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Installing a Multiple Disk Program from a
SingleSource
as many of you know, I'm interested in having a high density floppy
disk either an LS120 or an LS 240 or maybe even an 750mb zip disk, put
in my machine. So what happens if I have a program that normally
spans 10 1.44mb 3.5 inch (floppies and I put it on a higher capacity
disk? What do I do when I'm actually installing the program onto the
computer and it asks me to install disk 2 etc? I've never figured
this one out. Do I need to create some kind of batch file that would
make it automatically load the disks or do I need to manually go into
the directory and somehow load the files? These questions also apply
to anything that was originally on a floppy that I put on cd rom or,
more likely, on a compact flash card. I've also had situations in
which I had the reverse and had a zip file containing the directory
with all the files to a program. But they had names like Disk 1, Disk
2 etc. and when I tried to install them, I ran into the same problem,
. To make things worse, there were times when I wasn't sure if the
files were originally on 5.25 or 3.5 inch disks, so I could make an
actual Disk 1 or Disk 2 on a 3.5 and wind up wasting space because I
could've have fit the whole program onto one disk... I hope I'm not
being confusing but I'm a bit confused myself here.
Thanks,
Eleni
