Getting Started in Com Sci 295

Please do the following setup steps as soon as possible, to be ready for the real class work.

1. Set up your CS Department computer account.
   1. Every student at U Chicago should already have a computer account on midway. If you do not know your user id and password, check with NSIT.
   2. Get yourself a computer account in the Department of Computer Science. Use your Web browser to sign up online. You will get an account on a machine called classes with the same user id and login as you have on midway. Please read the brief information about instructional accounts.
2. Check the online discussion for the class. Post a note introducing yourself.
3. Set up a public directory to share class work.
   1. In your home directory on classes, there should be a subdirectory named html. If not create it (mkdir html) and make it readable by everyone (chmod a+rx html).
   2. Set up a subdirectory of html named CS295_files (cd html; mkdir CS295_files), and make it readable by everyone (chmod a+rx CS295). We will share work on class projects in these directories.
