[Intuition]

Thanks for the insight into why Ian's info is a bit TLDR for the kids these days. 

I am pretty stupid overall so if I can figure out how to do it, I should be able to do the caveman explanation version in a video. 

Though, I wonder... first I would need to acquire a new Hard drive and then maybe,
what, use another computer networked to the SGI to do the install?

I have never tried to do an OS install. Always just ordered drives with Irix already going on them.

Though this would make a useful vid for sure that I am interested in making for all future SGI hobbyist posterity.
