The following is a step-by-step sequence for RevRdist first-timers to
help them get RevRdist running at all.  Use it in conjunction with the
RevRdist administrator's guide, the "Initial installation" section,
starting about page 21.

*	I assume you have created a master folder on the server.  If
	not, do this first.  Its contents should be set by copying
	everything from a client hard disk to the master folder.  For
	experimenting, it suffices to copy only the client System
	folder and one or two other top-level folders.

*	Manually mount the server volume on the client you are debugging
	with.  Warning: be sure you have this client's files backed up.
	It is very easy to have RevRdist delete them all.  You should also
	have a bootable floppy, in case the client's System folder gets
	messed up.

*	Start an unconfigured RevRdist, with no preferences file.
	(In this case, 'unconfigured' means it has the "Echo control file
	as read", "List only, don't do", "Verbose", and "Flags dialog"
	flags checked and all others cleared.)  Click Okay to any warning
	about a missing or corrupt prefs file.

*	On the Preferences window, set the Master folder.  Nothing else
	matters for now.  Click on Go.  If RevRdist complains that it
	cannot find the master folder, then you haven't typed its name
	correctly.  You can Copy the volume or folder names while in
	Finder and switch back to RevRdist and Paste them into the
	path you're building.  This makes sure you are spelling them
	correctly.

*	Once you get the master folder name correct, work on getting
	the Distribution file name correct.  Again, it's a matter of
	making sure you have each part of the path correct, letting
	RevRdist tell you when it is unhappy.

*	Save this preferences file.

*	Now, its time to debug the Distribution file.  This is mostly a
	matter of trial and error, running RevRdist and watching the
	Activity window.  If you just made the master folder from this
	client, then RevRdist should not find much to do.  You should
	examine everything RevRdist proposes to do to make sure you
	understand why it is doing it.  If you are running version 1.5
	of RevRdist, check the "RevRdist log" file, either in the same
	folder as RevRdist, in the Preferences folder, or possibly in
	your "Junk" folder.

*	Now, you're ready to fill out the rest of the Preferences
	information.  Get to the Preferences window again.  Switch back
	to the Finder and unmount the server volume.  Use the Chooser
	to remount the volume, but carefully write down each piece of
	information as you select it: (Zone name, Server name, User
	name, Password).
	
*	Close the Chooser, unmount the volume again, and switch back
	to RevRdist.  Type the information you wrote down into the
	Preferences and Save it.  Click on Go and see if RevRdist can
	mount the volume.  If not, you miscopied something.  Unfortunately,
	you cannot use Copy and Paste here.

*	Set the other preferences ("Junk" folder, lifetimes, etc) how you
	want them, except set the update interval to 1 minute for now.

*	Save your final preferences file and quit RevRdist.  Unmount the
	volume.  Double-click on the preferences file.  Leave the flags
	alone and just press Go when you get to the Preferences window.
	If RevRdist has trouble with the volume, distribution file, etc,
	back up in this list and re-do things from the failure point.

*	Now, it's time to test automatic RevRdisting.  Put a copy of
	RevRdist and the preferences file in the Startup Items folder.
	Make sure the prefs file is named "RevRdist prefs".

*	Double click on this copy of RevRdist.  On the Flags dialog, set
	List only, Use prefs mod time, and Flags dialog.  Make sure the
	other flags are not set.  Push the Save button and then quit
	RevRdist.

*	Wait one minute (the update interval).  Restart the Mac.

*	Check that the "Unattended" flag got set automatically.  Let RevRdist
	continue.  It should mount the volume and run (in list-only mode)
	with no problems.

*	Make a copy of your preferences file onto a floppy or the server.

*	Once this works, try it with the List only flag off.  Pick up the
	pieces :-)  That is, once you turn List only off, RevRdist will
	actually modify the files/folders on the client's hard disk.

*	Go back and set the update interval on the preferences to its
	correct value.  Save the preferences file.

*	Start RevRdist again and set the flags the way you want.  Save
	them.

*	Copy these versions of RevRdist and the preferences to the master
	folder.
