Well, finally, more than a month after calling "instant" apollo, I have
gotten my tape of 10.7p fortran. The problem is that it comes with
a bright pink warning notice predicting all sorts of dire consequences
if I use the old (something.00) installation manual. It says emphatically
to read " (something).02 manual that is shipped with the 10.2 release."
The problem is that I don't have this manual, as I haven't gotten
10.2p yet, and am unlikely to order it until a working NFS is ready
for shipping (and in fact in my hands). I suppose, if this manual
is available at all I could order it, but I would be surprised
if I had it in my hands in under a month, given the track record.
So...
Can somebody tell me briefly what is involved in the installation?
Can I just use the install/tools minst version that came with 10.1?
Do I still have to use the renaming kludge (renaming tools to tools.ok
to prevent reading in a bad version of tools from tape), or is this
taken care of? I especially want to be careful about minst not
installing the wrong libraries, as the warning flyer says that if
this happens my machine won't even boot! Help would be much
appreciated.
