Where to find the THESIS TEMPLATE FILES
Important Note on Copyright:
By default, these templates are written such that MIT owns the
copyright on the thesis. There is a comment in main.tex
noting that you can include the "vi" option to make the thesis
copyright to you instead of to MIT.
You MUST check with your thesis advisor or departmental
administrator to determine whether your thesis should be
copyright to you or copyright to MIT. You are strongly
encouraged to do this early on in the process, as opposed to a
week before the due date. The default behavoir in the
template should NOT be taken as an indication that your
particular thesis must have the copyright assigned to MIT.
When starting to write your thesis, the first steps are to create a special
directory for it (typically called "thesis") and copy the template files into
that directory.
First, make the directory:
mkdir ~/thesis
Then move to that directory:
cd ~/thesis
Now, copy the necessary files:
attach thesis
cp /mit/thesis/tex/* .
The final period above is necessary!
To read the file that contains information about the files you just copied
over, and how to modify them for your particular thesis, type:
