When we run on the large screen or in the hmd, we invoke a specific cave configuration (caverc) that specifies the physical size and location of the screen we are projecting on. We also have to run the tracker or we get the dreaded shmget error.
For the big screen, the special configuration file is located in /util/CAVE/etc and your program automatically looks there to see if there is a file to read.
For the hmd, you will need to put a configuration file in your PROJECT dir and change the RUN script to point to it. You will also need to run a special program to connect the game-pad controller with the other tracking input info.

Running Networked involves:
- starting a server on one machine,
- ssh mediastudy11
- cd /home/dms/jranstey/PROJECTS/TRAIL/version4_S07/yg_0.4.1/bin
- ygrepeater --port 4550
- control c in terminal window to stop
- editing RUN scripts to point to that server
- comment in two networking lines
- comment them out to run standalone
- having multiple users
- users cannot be included in the scene text file
