Does anyone have any practical advice about or experience with running messages without AMDS or AFS? Or with just AMDS and no AFS? Rick McMullen IU/CICA Indiana University Bloomington, IN

I think that most people running Andrew outside of CMU are running it with neither AMDS nor AFS. Basically, you probably don't want to bother with AMDS unless you AFS. The Andrew distribution as distributed on the X11 tape is, in fact, mostly geared for the no-AMDS, no-AFS configuration. It is pretty straightforward; the top-level README file contains all the information you should need (and then some!) But if you have specific questions once you get started, you should be able to find answers on this list/newsgroup. One practical tip: Make sure to apply the patches first -- the X11 tape version is fairly old, and there have been NINE major patches, with a tenth coming soon. Many bugs have been fixed, and if you have troubles people are unlikely to be able to help much until you upgrade to the latest patch level. -- Nathaniel
