Very Computer

I am new an user of SiliconGraphics Workstation.  I need to install NFS
from the CD.
My question:
1. Do I have to go to Miniroot to install NFS?
2. I used   list *nfs*  command to install NFS  after inst prompt, and
got error message:
    maint_nfs_nfs_man.nfs  can't install because the base subsystem isn't
installed.
    maint_nfs_nfs_man.relnotes  can't install because the base subsystem
isn't installed.
    ....
    What is base subsystem of NFS?  How can I install it before I install
NFS?
    I used help required to get more information, but I still do not know
what I should do.
3. Is there any short course or workshop I can take to learn more about
SiliconGraphics?
Any information will be appreciated.

You can't install maint* stuff until after the base product is installed.
Thus for maint_nfs, you must install nfs first (the first part after
the maint_ is the base product, by convention.  So install nfs first,
and then maint_nfs.

There are a number of courses offered in various locations by
the Customer Education part of Customer Support.  Contact your
local support folks for more info.
