# Arachne setup tools

Arachne offers various setup tools and wizards, which modify files arachne.pck and arachne.cfg for you. This is list of what actually happens during various phases of setup process.

### Standard installation process

- self-extracting distribution archive launches setup.bat
- setup.bat doesn't find any arachne.cfg file in current directory
- setup.bat launches CORE.EXE in basic memory and video setup mode
- setup.bat launches arachne.bat and calls setup_os.dgi, which detects computer speed and suggests new initial profile and changes to AUTOEXEC.BAT/CONFIG.SYS
- user is pointed to TCP/IP setup screen.

  ### Running setup.bat again

- setup.bat finds arachne.cfg file
- setup.bat launches CORE.EXE in basic memory and video setup mode
- user is pointed to TCP/IP setup screen.
- if necessary, setup_os.dgi can be launched manualy from Desktop | Your Applications.

  Note: this happens also if you delete arachne.pck and then run arachne.bat.
