2.4 _C_o_m_p_a_t_i_b_i_l_i_t_y
These images of Netscape Navigator are not compatable with
Netscape Communications Corp.'s images of Netscape
Navigator. If you have previously installed Netscape
Communications' images, you should remove them before
installing these images.
2.5 _C_o_n_f_i_g_u_r_a_t_i_o_n__F_i_l_e_s
Two files are installed that should be configured when
updating releases. Both files reside in
/_u_s_r/_l_o_c_a_l/_l_i_b/_n_e_t_s_c_a_p_e and are called _m_a_i_l_c_a_p and
_m_i_m_e._t_y_p_e_s. These files help configure the browser when
accessing multi-media objects over the network. Currently
they are tuned to work with the tools that are shipped with
these images. However, as you may install other media
players you may wish to configure them to access your new
players. Both of these files can also be referenced in the
user's home directory. This is configurable in the
browser's preferences options on a per user basis.
2.6 _O_t_h_e_r__I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n__I_n_f_o_r_m_a_t_i_o_n
Once the browser is installed, users may customize how it
interacts with the network. These customizations are on the
"Preferences" menu item on the "Options" menu. If your
system is behind a firewall, see your system's administrator
for information on how to get through the firewall.
