Users can now use these ids to log on with this Library disc and data disc.
If you have decided to give users more space by using multiple data discs, you
should modify this method somewhat, to spread the users' directories over
more than one data disc. Decide how much space you want each user id to
have (as pages of text); this will tell you how many (n) to put on each data
disc (each disc holds about 300 pages). Divide the user ids into groups of n or
less, with the most frequent users in the first group, the least frequent users in
the last. Write down the user ids in this order.
