1. Install Amiga TCP/IP on your on Hard Drive

   Decide where you would like to install the software.  The installation
   script creates the drawer if necessary. 
    
   Insert Amiga TCP/IP diskette 1.  
    
   Open the disk icon.  Then open the Install_Now icon.  
   Or just highlight Install_Now, and open the drawer where you want the
   software installed.
    
   If you are working from a Shell window,
   type:   AmigaTCP_1:Install 
   or:     AmigaTCP_1:Install disk:drawer 
   where disk:drawer is the directory path where you want 
   the software installed.
    
   If one is not provided, the installation script will ask for the name
   of the disk and drawer.  It will also create the drawer if necessary
   and copy the software into it.
    
   If you already have Amiga TCP/IP installed and you are updating to the
   current version, your configuration files will not be overwritten.

2. Edit your user-startup or startup-sequence to include the following
   (assume the networking software was installed in Work:inet):
      assign inet: Work:inet
      path inet:c add
      stack 20000
      execute inet:s/start-inet ;if you want networking started automatically

3. Edit the file inet:s/inet.config.  You must set your username, hostname,
   gid, and uid.

4. Edit the file inet:db/passwd. Create a new line with:
   username||uid|gid|Your_Name|your_home_directory|shell  
   Delete any other users you don't want on your system.  You may use
   ram: as your home directory.  Give the command "passwd <username>"
   to assign a password or to change it at any time.

5. You will need a inet:db/hosts file before you start the networking
   software.  You can create one with just two entries (your Amiga and
   the system you will get the hosts file from), start the networking
   software, and FTP a more complete hosts file from the other system.

6. Edit the inet:db/hosts.equiv file. See the User's Guide for a description
   of this file. 

7. If you will be using NFS, edit the db/fstab file as desired.  This
   file contains the filesystems that are mounted when start-inet is
   executed.

8. Start-inet is a script that starts the networking software.  It
   must be run before you can use your ethernet card.  You will probably
   want to "protect start-inet +s".  If you want to enable the servers,
   type "start-inet servers".  "start-inet syslog" starts the system logging
   daemon. "start-inet rip" starts the RIP routing protocol.
 
9. Many Amiga TCP/IP commands require a large stack.  Use 20000 or more.
   Add the line:
     stack 20000
   to your s:shell-startup file.

10. Reboot or execute the commands in step 2.

    See the User's Manual for more complete instructions.


DOCUMENTATION CHANGES:

   See the Addendum file in the docs directory for last minute changes.


WHAT IF I HAVE JUST A SMALL NETWORK OF AMIGAS?

   This software is currently most useful for connecting your Amiga
   into a Unix network.  If you only have Amigas running AmigaDOS,
   you will be able to transfer files and directories between them
   using rcp.  You can print files by rcp'ing to the prt: device on
   other Amigas.  You can also use the rsh command to start programs
   on other Amigas.  You will not be able to mount NFS file systems
   or use rlogin or rloginvt.


COMMON SOFTWARE SETUP PROBLEMS:

   Is inet: assigned?
           See step 2.
   
   Is inet:c on your path?
           See step 2.
   
   Did you execute start-inet?
           See steps 2 and 10.
   
   Is the stack at least 20000 for Shells and Workbench?
           See steps 2 and 9.
   
   Is your own Amiga's hostname in inet:s/inet.config?
           Use your own Amiga's name, not a REMOTE machine's name.
   
   Did you reboot after editing the configuration files? 
           You must reboot to restart the servers with the new configuration.
   
   Are the remote hosts up and connected?  
           If you are trying to mount any remote volumes,
           your Amiga may be slow coming up.
   
   Are there blank lines or comments in inet:db/fstab?
           They must be deleted.  They cause nfsmgr errors.

   Did you choose an internet number and name for your Amiga?
           You should not, have your system manager assign them.
           He must insure that all the numbers are valid and
           insure that all machines on the network agree on the
           numbers.  Otherwise communication failures will occur.


COMMON HARDWARE SETUP PROBLEMS

   If you checked everything described above, and there are still 
   problems, read:
