Irix 6.2 Applications, May 1996
-------------------------------
This CD contains products which supplement, or in some cases replace,
products on the two IRIX 6.2 CD's. In particular, this CD contains
versions of three products which replace those found on the IRIX 6.2
CD's: Netscape Navigator 2.01S, License Tools 2.1.1, and What's New
6.2, May 1996. This CD also contains Impressario 2.0 (7 related
products) and several patches for IRIX 6.2
Note: Packaged with your software is a separate sheet that contains the
Software License Agreement. This software is provided to you solely
under the terms and conditions of the Software License Agreement.
Please take a few moments to review the Agreement.
Installation information
------------------------
You should install IRIX 6.2 before installing any of products on this
CD. If you purchased an Indy machine after May 1996, it is likely that
much of this software has been pre-installed on your system (Other
Silicon Graphics systems such as Indigo2, POWER Indigo2 and Indigo2
IMPACT do not have the software pre-installed. For a full list of the
software on your system, use the versions command.)
We suggest that you finish reviewing this README before making your
selections in inst. If you should ever need to refer back to this
README, simply re-insert the CD and double-click on the CD icon, or
view the file /CDROM/dist/inst.README.
You may choose to read the release notes for products before installing
them. Netscape Navigator, License Tools, Impressario (Base) and the
patches all have release notes available. To view the release notes for
products, open a winterm and type
cd /CDROM <Enter>
./CDgrelnotes <Enter> (or ./CDrelnotes for a non-graphical display)
Notes about the products
------------------------
1. The version of License Tools 2.1.1 on this CD is newer than the version
on the IRIX 6.2 first CD. A bug in the old 2.1 version can cause users
to lose NetLS nodelocked licenses from the file /var/netls/nodelock.
This scenario is especially common for users who have received licenses
within the past year, even if the user did not use License Manager to
install the new license. Silicon Graphics strongly recommends that all
customers upgrade to License Tools 2.1.1 from this CD to avoid this
problem.
2. The version of Netscape Navigator 2.01S on this CD is newer than
the version on the IRIX 6.2 second CD. The 2.01S version contains
important bug fixes including changes related to Java scripts, gopher
URLs, and security bug fixes. List of Products on this CD
