<DIV></DIV>>All the others gave correct information. I strongly recommend that you
<DIV></DIV>>follow Andy Liaw's suggestion and define a proper HOME directory and store
<DIV></DIV>>all your personal material in it. Here is the relevant section from my
<DIV></DIV>>class handout:
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>### 0. HOME directory.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>### You need a home directory, the one where you keep all your
<DIV></DIV>>### personal subdirectories and files. On my own machine I use
<DIV></DIV>>### c:\rmh\. On the machines in the Statistics lab, we use v:\, which
<DIV></DIV>>### is unique to each individual. If you will be using the statistics
<DIV></DIV>>### machines, get a personal account from me.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>### The home directory is where you keep your subdirectories, for
<DIV></DIV>>### example c:\rmh\503.f01\, c:\rmh\501.f01\, c:\rmh\letters.home\,
<DIV></DIV>>### etc. Windows defaults to a home of c:\, which is a very bad
<DIV></DIV>>### choice as c:\ is where software gets installed.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>### On my own machine I use c:\rmh\. On the machines in the
<DIV></DIV>>### statistics lab, we use v:\, which is unique to each individual.
<DIV></DIV>>### If you will be using the statistics machines, get a personal
<DIV></DIV>>### account from me.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>## In Windows 95/98/ME, set the home directory in c:\autoexec.bat
<DIV></DIV>>## with, for example, the line
<DIV></DIV>> set HOME=c:\rmh
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Since you are a linus user, let me also strongly suggest that you download
<DIV></DIV>>cygwin and turn your pc into a unix workstation.
<DIV></DIV>>http://cygwin.com
<DIV></DIV>>Click on the download icon. You will get about 110MB of zip files.
<DIV></DIV>>The execute
<DIV></DIV>> e:\cyginstall\setup.exe
<DIV></DIV>># When prompted:
<DIV></DIV>># choose next, "Install from Local directory", next, next
<DIV></DIV>># change the "Install Root Directory" to c:/cygwin
<DIV></DIV>># next, next
<DIV></DIV>># wait a long time
<DIV></DIV>># next, ok
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>If you want X-windows on the PC, then also download the XFREE86 software from
<DIV></DIV>>the same cygwin web page.
<DIV></DIV>>
