3. LLLLLLLELLLLLL 4 eo 6 The first step is to install the network computer software on one or more hosts The network computer plugs directly into the network so you can install the software on one host or distribute it across different hosts on the same network The media contains all of the files you need to boot and configure your network computers With the INSTALL script you can install everything or select only the files you need for your environment NOTE Before starting the installation process verify your root umask is set correctly so file permissions are preserved Your umask should be set to 022 so root has read write and execute privileges but others only have read and execute To set your umask type umask 022 This manual provides detailed installation information but first a quick start list is provided as an overview It is also useful for experienced users who don t need a lot of detail UNIX Installation 1 1 Chapter 1 Installing the Software Quick Start The following steps provide an overview describing how to install NCBridge on the host and to configure an NC for operation Details can be found in the remainder of this manual and in the Network Computer Reference Manual NCBridge installation 1 Logon to installation host 2 Insert the installation CD ROM into the host CD ROM drive Set the mount point and path for details see Installing from a CD ROM Drive on page 1 12 3 Ex
