How to install an OS which consists of chunks?

Load and install one chunk after the other. It is important that you install the files in the right order. The order is:

part1.mid
part2.mid
part3.mid
part4.mid
part5.mid
part6.mid

...etc

DISCLAIMER: The chunks won't work with some sequencers. As soon as the Virus is receiving an OS dump, it doesn't accept any other data. It will terminate OS update, if other data (such as a reset message for instance) appear. Some sequencers send reset messages, as soon as a song is being loaded.
So why using the this version at all? The Virus OS is rather big for a MIDI file and some older sequencers are not capable of dealing with such an amount of data. Their RAM is simply too small. Uploading the OS in chunks overcomes this limitation.
