	The complete package must be unzipped on your computer, and you must import all contained files into a disk image, for example, using [[TIImageTool]]. Note that the names of the imported files must have an equal prefix with an added increasing number. In particular, we found that the name of the first file is slightly different, so you should rename it before use.
