- I installed 3.0 PR2 on a 105 NeXTstation just to see what would happen.
- It worked with no problem at all. What am I missing. Just about
- everything :)
-
- No man pages, no /NextLibrary/Documentation folder, certainly no developer
- examples, no Oxford Quotations and only the English language files were
- installed. And yes, Digital Webster's tiffs were missing too :-(
-
- However, to my suprize, I did get Draw, BoinkOut (now a demo file), 3View,
- Sound and Keyboard in a /NextDeveloper/Demos folder.
-
- Another intesting note: Normally there are numerous printer drivers
- loaded, however, on my 105 istallation ony the following were installed:
-
- NeXT 400 dpi
- NeXT 400 dpi level II
- NeXT color printer
- NeXT Generic Color
- Apple LaserWriter NTX
- Apple LaserWriter Plus
- Epson 510
- IBM ProPrinter 24
- Linotronic 300
-
- Also, all of the normal fonts are there: Symbol, Times, Helvetica,
- Courier, Ohlfs and Lexi.
-
- Using BuildDisk, you can install the missing pieces from CD-ROM when you
- get more disk space.
-
- BTW: only 17.2 MB free when the installation was finished, and there are
- no user accounts except _Me_.
-
- PS. Don't worry, I've got a 600 MB external drive too. I just installed
- NS 3.0 on the internal 105 to see what would happen...
