1   LMS notes

  1. I forgot that LMS had copied over all of last year's assignments. Sorry, they're deleted now. #. This year's assignments are a little different. Some careful people noticed. #. If you really want to see last year's they're available on last year's course page.
  2. I'm using LMS only for students to submit work and for TAs to submit grades. The text of the assignments will be only on the course page.

  3. Linux: run ssh to login to rcs.rpi.edu.
  4. For copying files:
    1. For a few small files, cut and paste.

    3. From inside your rcs account: wget copies the contents (files or dirs) specified by a URL.
    4. With an AFS client program, your RCS directory is read and writable from another computer. On linux, that's the openafs-client package.
