Installing NeXTs at CERN

A few notes on what is needed. Mail me if you have any additions or find mistakes. Note that finding the system directories is much easier if you have the "unix expert" bit set in the Unix part when you run /NextApps/Preferences - this stops the system hiding files from you. See also security

Backup? ą don't keep anything on your local disk -- nfs mount something which is backed up.

System facilities

Upgrading version 1 to version 2 if necessary
