If you were talking about getting other Athena services, there'd be a
need for a document, but I think that publishing a document separate
from OpenAFS's is just asking for it to get out of date and cause more
confusion than it fixes.

You really do just want to go to http://www.openafs.org/, and follow
the instructions there; a pre-built tarball for MacOS X 10.1 should be
two clicks away.  There's nothing special about MIT's network, as far
as running MacOS X goes.

Do feel free to ask again here, or stop by the office, if you have any
further problems.
