CS566 Winter 2000

Purpose of this class

The purpose of this class is to have you perform some practical exercises in the configuration and management of various types of real computer systems.  As such what we will be doing in this class will be installing various operating systems on a number of different computers in the BH317 lab. After installing the systems you will have to configure them in various ways.  I will explain to you in more detail later what will specifically be required.
