Please specify some of your everyday computing tasks to be done with the software. Otherwise it is not easy to recommend anything.

First of all, the filesystem on the ethernet disk must be exported. Then you can try to mount it to your system. Check the export, then the easiest way to mount is to use the Desktop - Shared Resources - On a Remote Workstation

Do you mean to copy the file system or just the files?

So the system does not respond when clicking the login icon? There may be hanging processes/services because of missing network connection, then you need to wait a long time. Can you boot the system in single user mode and log in as root to change setup?

Some (in fact a lot) help is availble at http://techpubs.sgi.com/library/tpl/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?coll=0620&db=bks&fname=/SGI_Admin/books/IA_DiskFiles/sgi_html/ch02.html&srch=partition

Use standard commands to get the login information and xconfirm to show it with OK button.

What did you do in system update? You say you have access to non root account, does it mean the system comes up? Please try to specify more the problem. Start by telling what appears on the terminal when you turn on the power and do not press any key?

Thanks for nice feedback! I like more to help than to be helped :-) But it happens so rarely. BTW, compared with other OS and software installers the Software Manager (the graphic version of inst) may first look strange, but once you learn how it works it is perfect tool!

Do you use inst or the Software Manager? If you use Software Manager it is easy to find the man subsystems for each product. I don´t have 6.2 available, but for example in 6.5 the "IRIX Eecution Environment, 6.5.4.m" contains the "Basic IRIX Man Pages" subsystem. In inst you can look after...

Man pages databases are on the IRIX Installation CDs. You do not have to reinstall IRIX, just add the man pages. To view man pages online http://techpubs.sgi.com/library/tpl/cgi-bin/browse.cgi?coll=0620&db=man

In csh it is possible to use goto. > goto mylabel will continue after line that is marked > mylabel: Unfortunately afaik sch scripts are not recommended, but that is the shell I know best.

Have you seen the man pages of 'background' and 'bgpaste'? Perhaps you find a solution there. Also the file .sgisession can be used to do some tricks when logging in.

I am interested to know what is the command on NT you would like to run? Usually I need to run unix commands from NT. :-)

I have no experience. What I know about O2's, Indys and older sgi:s I assume FUEL is OK.

To see the parameters try 'systune'. To modify see 'man systune'. Be careful!

As far as I remember it is possible with dvhtool. techpubs.sgi.com is a good place for more help.

Welcome to the wonderful world on administration! (I took the same step couple of years ago). I've had similar problems with some 02 workstations. Sometimes it is temporary problem and can be solved simply with a restart. If it repeats there is an error in the memory SIMM and it has to be...

The man page of tail states: "The tail command will only tail the last 256 Kbytes of a file regardless of its line count". May this be the problem? I would try to split the file by searching the end of the header/start of the image but do not know how to do it exactly. awk?

It looks ok to me. (Take care you did not modify existing configuration options like sharing devices). Just try it by restaring mediad with commands /etc/init.d/mediad stop /etc/init.d/mediad start
