Using NFS
If you have NFS access to a machine
which has the software already installed,
then mounting that disk may be the
preferable alternative, as it will
save disk space and ease upgrade
management.At CERN, the files are
currently stored on cernvax. In order
to get access, you will need to have
the host name of your machine put
into a table by the cernvax system
manager. When you have done this,
su root in your NeXT, and edit /etc/fstab
to contain the line with cernvax/userd
as in the following example:
#
# NOTE: This file is never consulted if NetInfo is running. It is only
# used during bootstrap.
#
/dev/sd0a / 4.3 rw,noquota,noauto 0 1
cernvax:/userd /Net nfs rw,bg,net 0 0
Then, you must give the commands
niload fstab . </etc/fstab
mount cernvax:/userd
in order to get access. Your directory
browser should now be able to see
the directory /private/Net/cernvax/userd/tbl/hypertext/WWW/NeXT/Implementation.
In the shell, still as root, you
can now link the application and
WWW subdirectory across to your own
directories omitting the "tar" step.
The commands are (omit the mkdir
if you already have /LocalApps)
mkdir /LocalApps
ln -s /private/Net/cernvax/userd/tbl/hypertext/WWW/NeXT/Implementation/WorldWideWeb.app /LocalApps
Now go on to the personal setup .
