NeXT System Administration Release Notes: 
System Administration Documentation

This file describes the on-line system administration documenation and how to use it.

To view the on-line documentation you must first install the Documentation package, located in /NextCD/Packages on the OPENSTEP for Mach CD-ROM.  This package contains the following folders of information:

·	NEXTSTEP Network and System Administration manual (Release 3.3 version, still current)
·	Introduction to NetInfo (new in 4.0)
·	NeXT System Administration release notes
·	UNIX manual pages (includes user, sysadmin, and developer)

These four folders get installed in /NextLibrary/Documentation, as:

·	NextAdmin/SysAdminManual
·	NextAdmin/IntroToNetInfo
·	NextAdmin/ReleaseNotes
·	ManPages

You can browse and open the contents of these folders directly through the File Viewer (or with the UNIX man command in Terminal, in the case of man pages).  Alternatively, you can access them through the Digital Librarian bookshelf that gets installed in /NextLibrary/Bookshelves as:

·	SysAdmin.bshlf

Double-click the bookshelf file's icon to open the bookshelf in Digital Libarian.  It will appear as shown here, with the four targets along the top representing the four folders described above.  Click a target to select it (or Shift-click to select multiple targets).  Then list all that target's titles (i.e., files), or search for files containing whatever keyword you type in the text field.

Tips to make browsing easier

Digital Librarian's Preferences panel lets you choose between opening files in Digital Librarian and opening them in Edit.  Use these guidelines when making that choice:

·	UNIX manual pages should be opened in Digital Librarian, since it knows how to format them correctly (Edit doesn't).  They can also be viewed in a Terminal window, using the standard UNIX man command.
	
·	Files in the Introduction to NetInfo target should be opened in Edit, since they rely on an extensive network of hypertext links for improved navigation.  (Digital Librarian displays these links properly, but they're inactive.)
	
·	The System Administartion manual and release notes can be opened either in Digital Librarian or in Edit, whichever you prefer.
