CD-ROM Installation
This CD-ROM is written as an ISO-9660 file system without Rock Ridge extensions. All filenames are
written in upper case, and unless the file system is mounted correctly the HTML links will not be found.
Unfortunately, different mount commands seem to be required for different flavors of Unix. Read your
manual page and experiment. You must first create a mount point /cdrom. Let "sr0" be the SCSI ID for
your CD-ROM drive (typically sr0 = "cdrom"). Possible mount commands which have worked on
different systems include:
mount -rt hsfs /dev/sr0 /cdrom
mount -o norock,check=relaxed -r -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /cdrom
Once the CD-ROM is mounted, open /cdrom/index.html with your favorite browser. The entire contents
of the CD-ROM are accessible from this page. Unfortunately, the audio lecture notes are not supported
on Unix platforms.
About the Images
Your browser likely has the option to automatically display or suppress in-line images. The mathematical
symbols in the lecture notes and the textbook are represented by bit-mapped images, which might load
slowly on certain systems. If so, disabling the automatic loading of images will result in better
performance, although less readable text.
To enable/disable viewing of these images when using Netscape Navigator, choose "Options" from the
menu bar, and select "Auto Load Images". To view images on one page only, or to load images which
were not properly loaded, click the "Images" button on the graphical toolbar.
About the Sound
Sound files on this CD-ROM are recorded in Shockwave file format, and have the extension "SWA".
Thus, the file "LEC19-2.SWA" contains sounds related to the second portion of lecture 19 in the lecture
notes. Playing the audio requires a plug-in from Macromedia, which unfortunately is not available on
Unix platforms.
Click here to select the plug-in appropriate for your system.
To listen to the sounds linked to the lecture notes you must:
● Have an installed sound device configured for use on your system. If you have ever heard sound
coming from your machine, this likely has already been done. If not, you will have to acquire and
