SET UP FILES FOR GCG TUTORIALS

To complete the GCG Tutorials, you will need to copy some folders
and files into your home directory on the Genetics Computer.
Instructions for completing that process are included here.

You will use UNIX commands to complete the set up process.

LOGIN

Use telnet to connect to genetics.wayne.edu and login.

SETUP FILES FOR GCG

You will need to copy some demonstration files.  You can
accomplish this from the UNIX command line, as follows:

genetics% cd
genetics% mkdir mbg8680
genetics% cp -r /home/dwomble/mbg8680.template/* mbg8680

Those 3 commands change to your home directory (if you weren't already
there), make the new mbg8680 folder, and finally, copy (-r means
recursively through the folder) all the files and subfolders in my 
mbg8680.template folder and deposit the copies into your mbg8680 folder.

After completing the set up, cd into your mbg8680 folder and explore
it's contents to make sure everything worked as expected.

USING FILE MANAGER

Alternatively, you can accomplish the same result using File Manager:

Determine your IP Address: who | grep userid
Set DISPLAY to your PC: setenv DISPLAY ip.address:0
Start the X Windows program on your PC.
Open the X File Manager: filemgr &

Create a new folder in your home directory called mbg8680
Change into the /home/dwomble/mbg8680.template folder.
Copy the all files and folders.
Change back to your own mbg8680 folder.
Paste in the copies of my files and folders.
