Lab Assignment 0 has 5 parts.

Part 0:
Make sure you have an account on our Sun system. Log in on one of the machines in 3.02.04 SB. I recommend using the OpenWindows environment. If you are new to using this environment, you can use the following method to get started:

At the login screen, enter your user name and push return
Left click on Options, go down to session and choose OpenWindows Desktop
You should see "Solaris OpenWindows" in a box on the right
Enter your password
Wait a few seconds
A browser may come up with a request to register Solaris
Click More Information
Click Never Register twice
To set up your desktop in a standard way:
     left click on the cmdtool console to make it active
     type
          tar -xf /usr/local/courses/cs2213/fall2000/desktop.tar
          Note: if you cannot access the file, you can download it by clicking here.
          When complete, right click in the empty blue space and choose Exit... and confirm to log out.
     Log back in again
     Your desktop should contain two command windows
When done, log out by left clicking in the empty space and choosing Exit...

Set up your machine so that Access the web site: /classes/cs2213f2000 and find out about assignment 1.

Part 1:
Make sure that you have had your picture taken. If it was not done after the first class, come to my office.

Part 2
If you have not already done so, create a web page for yourself.
The address of your web page should be http://www.cs.utsa.edu/~username.

Part 3:
Read your mail. You should have a mail message from me addressed to the entire class. Do not reply to this email. If you did not get this email, send an email to srobbins@cs.utsa.edu indicating that you are registered for CS 2213 but did not get the class email. A new class email will be sent daily until all students are receiving it.

Part 4:
When you have completed the other parts of the assignment, send me email to cs2213@cs.utsa.edu informing me that you have completed all parts of Assignment 0 and that you have received the class email message described in Part 3. The subject line should be
CS 2213 Assignment 0
The body of your mail message should contain a statement indicating that you have completed the prerequisites for the course and indicate how you satisfied each prerequisite. For example you can state that you took CS 1723 at UTSA last fall.
Alternatively, you can attach a copy of an email message from me to you in which I state that you may take the course without having formally completed the prerequisites.

You may use any mail tool you like to send this email, but it must have a subject line and the mail must be sent from our sun network.
