Notes from last week

Attending: miki, craig, greg, bill, carla, mark, bruce, tom, gary, kevin

1.  Solaris 2.4
	a. putting the /usr/lib/ links back
	b. beta?

-packs built, need sanity check, should be out no later than 5/15
-links replaced in /usr/lib since imake templates use them
-miki planning to move install servers to 2.4 (sun provided nfs_dlboot)

2.  IRIX 5.3
	a. ChemE says newest BioSym requires 5.3 and takes 1.2 gig
	   are we going to upgrade?

-not sure what plans are, but this clearly indicates need to move to 5.3
-and some of the impacts this will have.

-one concern is that BioSym apparently recommends 400 megabyte minimum swap,
-and we are running with 200 megabyte.

3.  emacs19
	a. documentation/training?

-it seems unlikely that posters can be put in the clusters now to explain
-emacs19 usage.  Instead, we're going to have to depend on good release notes
-and posters in clusters later.

-mh/mime if there are sensible easy things to put in mhn_defaults, we
-need to put them together soon.

-telnet--there needs to be some work to line up the telnet locker and the
-source tree.  Bruce and Greg will deal?
