==============================
Manual Mac Installation
==============================

Whilst we recommend using the supplied BFD install programs on

each DVD, you can also install BFD by just dragging and dropping
its various components to the correct folders by following these
instructions. This is somewhat masochistic, but may help you if
you are having problems installing BFD.�Note that some components
such as the standalone BFD application require other components
to work.

DVD 1:

1) Copy the BFD folder to /Library, or where ever you wish the BFD
data to reside. As BFD streams enormous amounts of data from your
hard drives, we recommend that you place the BFD data on a different
hard drive to your operating system. If you defragment the drive
beforehand, you will get better performance.

2) The plugins and applications are inside the MacOSX folder on the
DVD called BFD_INSTALL_DVD_1.

* VSTi [REQUIRED]
Copy the plugin files inside the MacX_VSTi folder to your VST plugins
folder (such as /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST). You MUST install the
VSTi BFD plugins for any of the other formats to work.

* Audio Units [OPTIONAL]

Copy the plugin files inside the MacX_AU folder to your AU components
folder (such as /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components).

* RTAS [OPTIONAL]
Copy the plugin files inside the MacX_RTAS folder to your RTAS
folder (such as /Library/Audio/Plugins/Digidesign)

* Standalone Application [OPTIONAL, requires BFD Audio Unit]

Copy the files inside the MacX_Standalone to your /Applications
folder.

* ReWire [OPTIONAL, requires BFD VSTi]

There are 3 files in the MacX_ReWire folder on the DVD. "Rewire"
and "BfdReWireShlbX" must be copied to "/Library/Application Support".
The BfdRewireApplet should be copied to your /Applications folder.
Run the app to register the BFD ReWire version.

3) The BFD manual, in the folder BFD_INSTALL_DVD_1/Docs, should be

copied to /Library/Documentation/FXpansion/BFD.

DVD 2:

1) Copy the second DVD's BFD folder to the same target folder that
you copied the first DVD's BFD data folder.

When you run BFD for the first time, you will be prompted to give BFD
the location of the BFD data folder, after which BFD will happily
acquaint itself with its drum sounds.
