Note: This is the rough version of introductory page for the new version of the O2 Demo CD to be released with Kudzu. This document may change before release.

Welcome to the O2 Demo CD version 1.3. This CD contains demos highlighting the power and ease of use of the O2 workstation, and demo scripts walking you through the O2's web-infused Irix Desktop, bundled media tools and OutOfBox Experience. The demos and scripts must be installed onto the O2's hard drive, but many of the demos can be previewed by playing movies directly off of the CDROM.

For more O2 information, visit Silicon Surf at http://www.sgi.com/Products/hardware/desktop.

Installation

The demos must be installed onto the hard drive using Software Manager:

• Insert the CDROM (which you've already done if you are reading this page)
• From the Desktop Toolchest select the System menu and open the Software Manager
• Type /CDROM/install into the Available Software field, then press Lookup
• To get the default installation (which does not include all demos), press Start. The demos that will be installed by default are marked with a check in the table above.
• To choose which demos you wish to install, press Customize Installation.

Using the Web Demo Interface

To access the demos installed on your O2 use the Web Demo Interface. To start the interface, from the Toolchest found on the Desktop, choose the Find menu and select Demos, the fourth entry. This will start Netscape NavigatorTM with the web-based demo interface. Alternatively, if logged in as the user Demos, there is a web jumper on the desktop labeled StartDemos. Double click this icon to start the interface.

Once the interface has started, press the Custom button on the bottom toolbar to see a list of the O2-specific demos.

More help on the web demo interface can be accessed by pressing the Help button on the bottom toolbar.
