Chapter 20, Additional Case 7: Writing a Set of Instructions

Background

The instructor in your technical-communication class would like your help in familiarizing students with the process of downloading software from the Internet. She has asked you to write a set of instructions that students in the class can use to download an updated version of an Internet browser from Microsoft or Netscape.

Your Assignment

Visit one of these sites, download the software, install it, and configure it either for a home computer or for a computer in one of your labs. Then write a clear set of instructions for someone who knows how to operate a computer but has never downloaded and installed software. Include instructions on how to modify the size of the cache.
