How to Setup a Mac mini

Setting up a Mac Mini 10.6

1) Power on

3) Do obvious choices -- Do not transfer

4) no Apple ID

5) Enter Dr. Moorman's info. -- His info (address and etc is the school info)

13) Open your Terminal

Enter these commands:

id kmoorman

ssh -l root babbage

(enter the password... I hope you know it)

cd /etc/exports/

exportfs -av

Set up your password

sudo passwd #changes password (don't actually put in the pound comments!)

su- # switches user switch to root

emacs /etc/auto-master ensure that home is uncommented.

emacs /etc/auto-home comment the + line add this line * 10.20.3.8:/data/exportfs/home/&

automount -vc

reboot


AFTER REBOOT

change name of computer in system preferences>>sharing If you are on machine x... change the name to x!

Set up a static IP

a) Login to Babbage through ssh once again.

b) view the file in /etc/ called hosts. Find your computer and note what its static IP is. 10.20.3.x.

c) Sys prefs>>network

d) Not DHCP but Manually.

e) Take the static IP you found and put it in for the static IP

f) Subnet will always be 255.255.255.0

g) Router is 10.20.3.1

h) DNS server is always 10.20.70.16, 10.20.70.17

i) Search domains = transy.edu

Note ----> DNS server and Search domains are grey. This is tricky. Don't be fooled into leaving it in there. If you do not manually put it in, MAC will be evil and make you put it in anyway.

Have Dr. Moorman go to apple.developer.com and put in his magic passwords and such and download the iPhone SDK and XCode.
