Insert an uninitialized floppy into the drive.  A panel will come up asking you either to initialize or eject (or cancel).  If you click initialize, then the options (DOS, NeXT and Macintosh) can be selected.

Now that the 'shell' functionality is taken out of the Workspace, the Workspace  
relies on Terminal to execute shell scripts that are double-clicked. Well, if  
your default window runs emacs or some other non-shell like program, it just  
seems to wait around forever before executing the script. I think it is waiting  
for emacs to exit. Anyway, Terminal becomes permanently hung and you need to  
kill it.

You can no longer double-click on shell scripts and expect them to execute.

Oh well..Is anyone else having this problem?

It happens when programs "like" Engage are autolaunched.  Programs that
pick up icons in some way have this problem.  I had it with Engage!.  I
have to start it manually now.  I suspect AltDock and the other dock
extenders have the same problem.  I don't know what other types of
programs do the same things with icons, but autolaunching them could
cause the problem.

Has anyone got AppleTalk connections to work under 3.0?

We know the physical conncetion is ok, because we can
connect just fine with NCSA Telnet.  We installed the
AppleTalk pkg., enabled AppleTalk Networking in the
Preferences panal, and rebooted.

Nothing shows up for our Mac running 7.0.

Is this supposed to work with the built in AppleShare of
7.0 or do you need the full blown installed AppleShare?

If we switch Networks on the Mac from EtherTalk to
standard AppleTalk, we see the server from other Macs,
but we can neither mount servers or see printerXT

Anybody got it working?

I figured out how to do it eventually (at least for mail). I copied
/etc/sendmail/sendmail.subsidiary.cf to /etc/sendmail/sendmail.cf. Seeing
a reference to DRmailhost, and having no alias for mailhost, I tried
setting this field directly, either to the host name or the Internet address -
bad move! Screwed me up for ages. It must be set up with NetInfoManager.
NeXT Answers mail.444 describes the steps required (although they must be
talking about the 1.0 version of NetInfoManager 'cos it doesn't work quite
as described). I also changed the line in sendmail.cf Dj$?m $w.$m $| $w $. to
get rid of the spaces. Don't know why, but lots of people seem to do this.

I changed the Local Configuration in NetManager exactly as described in
Louis Mamakos's SLIP manual.

Now mail was going out on the Internet OK, but incoming mail addressed to
dave@prim.demon.co.uk disappeared into a black hole. It turned out that
this required the creation of a file called /etc/resolv.conf whose contents
were:

domain demon.co.uk

You have to reboot and then everything works OK. Now I'm trying to figure
out how to set up news over the Internet. It appears that I have to set
up an nntp client. I've got the source for nntp.1.5.11 but the installation
looks a lot trickier than that for C-News (anyone out there got a working
conf.h?). If anyone's got nntp running over SLIP in batch mode and interfacing
to C-News, how about putting a copy on the archives?

Thanks to all of you who answered!

The problem was, that the CDROM filesystem which came with the DEMOCD was  
broken. I replaced it with the original from NS3.0, and it all just works!

So: if you have the same problems, then remove the  
/usr/filesystems/CDROM.fs and get a fresh copy from the 3.0CD (remember to  
get a copy from the 3.0CD BEFORE you blow away the filesystem!! :-)

Thanks again,
Karsten.

The two previous posts reminded me of the following strange behavior,
which for lack of a better word, I'll call "caching of NFS-fetched
files":
When I use TeXview (the pre 3.0 release posted to labrea.stanford.edu)
to view a dvi-file from my NFS-mounted workstation at the office on
my NeXT at home, the dvi-file persists somewhere (on the NEXT). 
That is if I edit the TeX file on the remote machine, re-TeX it, and
try either to reopen the dvi-file in TeXview or, even quit TeXview and
restart from scratch, I still see the old file (whereas if I run xdvi
remotely under co-Xist, the fresh file appears). 
What's worse, even dvips (This is dvips 5.490 Copyright 1986, 1992
Radical Eye Software) will print the old version of the dvi-file, not
the updated one. Is anyone aware where NeXT "caches" such
NFS-originating files?  Tom Rokicki assured me that it is not
TeXview which does the caching. 
And of course, this does not happen if the file is copied to a local
directory and reprocessed on the NeXT.

Doesn't quite get there.  What if I have a DOS floppy and I want to make a  
MAC floppy?  Do I have to somehow destroy the DOS format first in order to

A friend of mine just got an 040 'turbo' upgrade for his old (030) cube, and

documentation from NeXT when we did our upgrades describing what to do when
this happened (going from 030's to 040's, 2.X OS), something like rewriting
the boot block with "disk -b ..."  Can anyone jog my memory a bit more?

Well, here's a fun one.  I installed my 3.0, and everything was going
honky-dory.  That is, until I decided to back some stuff up to an OD.
Even that went well, but what I've always done in 2.1 was to log off
when I was done, and the OD would automatically be ejected as part of
the log off process.

Well, this time the log off process hung, and the OD didn't come out.
I have to think that these two things were related, since I had had
no problem logging out before.  After waiting some time, seeing nothing
but the dock of applications on the right, I used command-` to get the
"restart or power-down" prompt.   This worked, appeared to power off
the machine correctly, including ejecting the OD.

Then I try to power back on.  The whole process seems to work fine
(the hard disk was clean from the power off), up to it saying "boot
complete" or somesuch.  But no login window.  The messages window
stayed up, and no mouse arrow appeared.  (I have the "verbose" boot
option set on my rom, so I was able to see the boot process get
rather far.)

I did not have the foresight to write down how to boot in single-user
mode, but I just got that from another NeXT (I should have just
guessed--it's a "-s" option on the boot command).  I'll try that
tonight and see if I can figure out what got trashed.

Any ideas?

My NeXT machine picked up the zones here and found a useable network ID,  
10099, so I did not consult with the local people. One thing you might  
check is your local zone. I changed mine accidentally and things went to  
hell in a handbasket. Our major problem here is not being able to  
disconnect from a server after openning and closing a file. The system  
thinks the file is still open. The one thing that seems to work perfectly  
is access to printers once you guess the correct laserwriter driver. We  
are Appletalk 2 on an extremely large network, ~4000 unix machines, and  
~7000 macs. Bob

until the problem disappeared.  I discovered that my problem resulting 
from autolaunching AltDock.  If I do not autolaunch this application,
everything seems to work great.  I can subsequently start AltDock and my
operation is back to normal.

For whatever it's worth.

A related problem is EVERYBODY seems to want to call their docs
Documentation.pkg, which causes conflicts.  I have resorted to renaming,
but of course that means they won't be caught the next time.  Why do we
have to worry about that anyhow?  What if I rm -r * in that directory?
