Hello new 3.0-users,

as my machine has a problem during the boot process (it used to
be on ETHERNET and is still looking for it) which I cannot fix,
I think about "Reinstalling NeXTSTEP Release 3 Essentials" as
described on p.11-14 in the Release Notes.
From what I understand, it will format my internal harddrive,
(so I will put all my stuff on an external harddrive therefore )
and install the "Essentials".
1. Has anybody done this successfully and can recommend doing it?
2. What are the "Essentials", and esp.
3. What files will I have to save on my external drive first ???

Please e-mail your experiences.
Thanks,

Rainer           schmidmeier@evax.eng.fsu.edu
