Guides on
how to administer an SGI `Indy'
This page was written by Christopher
Spry. SGI has announced
that support for the Indy and Indigo lines will be dropped, even from their main
support web site, from July 2003. For this reason, even though I do not own an
SGI system any more, I will continue to post these guides as long as people find
them useful.
