	I am posting this information to the newsgroup because I believe
	it could be of interest to others too.

	The process of installing BNET, NFS, and an Apple Ethernet card
	takes about 15 minutes; maybe 30 minutes the first time. If you
	haven't done an Ethernet installation before, you may want to
	wait for the manuals; for reference.

	In general, the procedures are:

	1) Shut the system down.
	2) Configure one jumper and install EtherTalk card into NuBus slot.
	3) Connect Ethernet cable (from backbone) to Ethernet card.
	4) Bring system up into single-user mode.
	5) Create BNET/NFS kernel.
	6) Modify standard BNET and NFS files.
	7) Reboot
	8) Test

	The text files that need to be modified are the standard ones,
	(/etc/inittab, /etc/hosts, etc.)

	Before hand, be sure you choose the system's hostname and net
	address because you'll be asked for it. It's also not a bad idea
	to make sure that the cable connection actually works (I've been
	humbled by a bad cable connect before.:-) ).

	Hope this helps.
