Without a hard disk, it's a little harder to use. I think one
of the disks is a bootable floppy based on the basic needs of
GSOS. I highly suggest an HD, things get easier then.

If you haven't done so, unpack the disks and label them based
on the archive names.

install.sdk    = INSTALL
fonts.sdk      = FONTS
synthlab.sdk   = SYNTHLAB
systemdisk.sdk = SYSTEMDISK
systools1.sdk  = SYSTEMTOOLS1
systools2.sdk  = SYSTEMTOOLS2

If you're stuck with a floppy only system, you can use the
SYSTEMDISK (IIRC) as a basic boot disk. I suggest you make a
copy and boot from that. I can't recall now what the basic
boot system has to have. Maybe you can find the info in the
FAQ,
