Technical stuff

Here are instructions on how to let yourself use the CSAIL computing environment.

The first thing you should do is get your computer hooked up to the new CSAIL stuff.

• InstallingCsailDebianFromScratch
• InstallingCsailOnDebian
• InstallingCsailOnMacOsX
• DoingFastBackupsOntoCSAIL

There are instructions for how to use the new Csail stuff at UsingCsail. If the kernel upgrade broke your video drivers, you might need help InstallingProprietaryNvidiaDrivers.
