Question 6 (2004):

Once we've logged in to Raptor via eXceed, is the idea that we create 3 new folders: 1 called `co516', with subfolders `examples' and `exercises' and are we meant to drag or copy the work from Raptor and put this in our own directory?

Answer 6:

Essentially yes, but, this is what the `setup' script (i.e. `/usr/local/courses/co516/setup') does for you when run. Note that these folders should be on raptor, not on your bodiam (Z:) or other PC drive -- the files must be accessible from raptor -- if you want to copy them yourself; but running the setup script is easier :-).

Question 5 (2004):

You said to go into the following folder on raptor:

    /usr/local/courses/co516/setup 

and I click on the setup file and it comes up asking which application I want to run it in. Any suggestions?

Answer 5:

You need to run the setup file ... and that must be done from the raptor command-line. E.g.:

    bash$ /usr/local/courses/co516/setup

Double clicking on the file from a UNIX desktop environment ought to have worked (e.g. Gnome), but presumably not.
