                                INSTALLING
===============================================================================


FROM CD
Insert the CD into the drive - it should autostart the installation.
If the installation doesn't start, open the CD, enter the "install"
directory and run the setup.exe program.


FROM AN INTERNET DOWNLOAD
Double click on the executable and enter a path to install to.  Uplink
will now extract into that directory.  You can run uplink by going to
that directory and running uplink.exe.


LINUX
Simply extract the compressed file into a directory and run. 
You may need to set the attributes of the uplink executable to make it
runnable.

===============================================================================


Uplink can be started with a variety of command line options.
Each option begins with either a '+' or a '-', to enable or
disable an option.  For example, starting uplink with the command
uplink -graphics_fullscreen 
would start the game with fullscreen DISABLED, while starting it like this:
uplink +graphics_fullscreen
will start the game with fullscreen ENABLED.


Here is a complete list of options:

graphics_fullscreen                     sets the game to run fullscreen   
                                          (default is on)

                                          If set to -1, the depth is not set
                                          (Your desktop depth will be used)
