1.  W20 systems have all been upgraded to 64 meg and XZ boards
    66, 4-035, and W20 are all upgraded at this point.

2.  9-514 SGI booting--router corrected and install server host
table updated to include the new system.  now installs and boots.

3.  libGL.so link bug reported--the problem in the install server was
found and fixed so that future installs will be correct.  4-035
machines checked and fixed where necessary include: 1,2,3,5,6,7,9,10,
11,13,16,17,18.  Still to do: 4, 8, 12, 14, 15, 19, 20

procedure

ls -l /var/arch/lib
IF
/var/arch/lib/libGL.so->/usr/gfxarch/IP12GR2/libGL.so
THEN
su
rm /var/arch/lib/libGL.so
ln -s /usr/gfx/arch/IP12GR2/libGL.so /var/arch/lib/libGL.so
exit

The problem is a missing "/" in the first link name between gfx and arch.

4.  dkk and vrt are in the process of rebuilding the "golden disk."
In earlier builds, several packages were not installed, so they had to
review and redo the process.  They are verifying that all packages
have been installed, then will subdivide and transfer to the install,
srvd, etc. pieces.  They will then verify that the new install and
srvd pieces work correctly.  Then we'll make it public.

5.  As a short-term workaround for Seth Teller, Alex and I installed
C++_3.2.1 from the Varsity Pack on m4-035-14 to 20 (seven machines).
