The install scripts assumes that your _new_ distribution will be installed
on to the two volumes /gno (ProDOS) and /gno-hfs (HFS).  It also assumes
these volumes already exist and are _empty_.  You may use other volume names,
but you will have to edit certain files before you run your distribution.
If your volumes are named something else, replace the names in the cd commands
below with the appropriate name.
 
You should now do the following steps:
	1.  Set your DOWNLOAD_DIR environment variable to the directory
	    containing the binary distribution NuFX (*.shk) files.
	    These files are named gno.01.shk, gno.02.shk, and so forth.
	    For example, if your files were in /download, you would type:
		setenv DOWNLOAD_DIR /download

	2.  Issue the commands:
		cd /gno
		/gno.boot/installboot1

	3.  Issue the commands:
		cd /gno-hfs
		/gno.boot/installboot2

	4.  You should now edit the file /gno/etc/namespace.  If your
	    files were extracted onto a volume other than /gno, you will
	    have to replace all the ":gno:" strings with the appropriate
	    path.

	    You may want to put /usr onto a different partition; it will
	    get fairly large over time.

	    If you have a RAM disk, you should consider having it renamed
	    to /tmp using renram5(8) or mktmp(8), in which case its entry
	    should be removed from the namespace file.
	    
	    See the kernel reference manual for a description of this file.

	5.  If you are not short of disk space, you should create .so links
	    for your manual pages.  (See the mkso(8) man page for an
	    explanation.)  You can do this by executing the following
	    commands:

	    	cd /gno/usr/man
	    	mkso -v -H /gno-hfs/man mkso.data
	    	
	6.  You should now return to your program launcher (the Finder,
	    ProSEL-16, or whatever you used to start /gno.boot/kern) by
	    typing "exit" at the prompt.  To startup up your new version
	    of GNO, you should then launch /gno/kern.  You will then see
	    a "login:" prompt.  Enter "root" as the user name; you will
	    not yet need a password.
