$Id: README.install,v 1.4 1999/01/28 05:34:38 gdr-ftp Exp $ 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 into which you placed the base distribution NuFX archive files (gnoboot.shk, gnohfs.shk, gno.01.shk, and so forth). For example, if the NuFX files were in /download, you would type: setenv DOWNLOAD_DIR /download Ensure that you use slashes ("/") rather than colons (":") as the pathname delimiter. Do not use a trailing slash. 2. Install the majority of the GNO base distribution files by changing directory into your destination directory and running the installboot1 script. Assuming that you will be installing to the partition /gno, the commands would be: cd /gno /gno.boot/installboot1 This step takes quite a while, even with an accelerated IIgs. Have patience. 3. There are a small number of recommended files that do not follow ProDOS naming conventions. If you wish to install these files, make sure that you have an HFS or Appleshare disk online. Change directories to that disk (or subdirectory) and run installboot2. Assuming that the HFS disk is /gno-hfs, the commands are: cd /gno-hfs /gno.boot/installboot2 This step is optional. It is possible to use the GNO binary distribution without an HFS partition, but some information will be missing. 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. Similarily, you will have to replace ":gno-hfs:" if that is not the name of your HFS (or Appleshare) partition where you ran the installboot2 script. Note that you cannot currently use pathnames in the namespace file that contain spaces. The gno.boot disk includes the vi utility to do these edits. You can also edit the namespace file with any other text editor of your choosing, as long as it is done before you try to run your new GNO distribution. A vi tutorial and quick reference guide may be found at http://www.jaws.umn.edu/~tobkin/vi. See the kernel reference manual for a description of the namespace 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 If you installed GNO somewhere other than /gno and /gno-hfs, then edit the above lines accordingly. If you did not install files onto an HFS (or Appleshare) partition at all, then execute the following commands instead: cd /gno/usr/man mkso -v 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.
