| Macintoshes running MacOS 8.5 through 9: Internet Setup Assistant
The Internet Setup Assistant is a utility that guides you, step

process. If you are running your Macintosh for the first time, the
Internet Setup Assistant will launch
automatically during the setup dialog process. Otherwise, you can launch
Internet Setup Assistant from its
alias in the Internet folder on your hard disk (the utility itself
is located in Internet->Internet Utilities).
