Setting Up Your Own Site
If you are interested in setting up a mirror site for
Views of the Solar System, feel free
to do so. Views of the Solar System
can be freely distributed as long as the pages are used for non-profit
applications, are not modified, and my
name stays on each page. Here's what you need to do to obtain
your own copy:
Views of the Solar System Mirror File - (Updated on January 3, 1995)
- You will need 8 MB of disk space.
- Make a directory and copy the file
http://www.c3.lanl.gov/~cjhamil/solar.tar.gz (5 MB).
This file can also be obtained from the /pub/cjh directory of the
anonymous ftp site
ftp.c3.lanl.gov.
- Extract the archive with gunzip and tar.
all the files will end up in the directory "solar".
- Check the ownership and permissions; they should be set for
public read-only access.
- Point your WWW browser to solar/homepage.htm;
you should be up and running.
