DL94927P000.tar
Tar-format files containing partial product images.
You have the option to download a single large file or multiple
smaller
files depending on the speed of your Internet connection.
- Move the files to a preferred installation directory, for
example:
mv filename*.tar /tmp1
- Change to the installation directory:
cd /tmp1
- Extract the files. This command must be performed on each
file individually.
tar xvf <filename>.tar
NOTE:
If you downloaded partial product tar files,
combine the package pieces into one file:
cat nscomm1 nscomm2 nscomm3 > NScomm4.pkg
- Use pkgadd or the SCOadmin Application Installer
to install the Netscape Communicator software and documentation:
- If you are using pkgadd, while in the installation directory
used above, enter:
pkgadd -d `pwd`/NScomm4.pkg
- If you are using the SCOadmin Application Installer:
- Click on the Application Installer in the
SCOadmin Software_Management folder.
- In the Install From menu, choose Other.
- In the Folder box, type the full pathname of the .pkg file,
including the filename (for example, /tmp1/NScomm4.pkg).
- Press <Enter> or click on the Update View button.
- Click on the icon that appears, and then click on the Install
button.
NOTE:You cannot have both Netscape Navigator Gold
TM and Netscape Communicator installed on your system
simultaneously.
If you are installing Netscape Communicator 4.61 on UnixWare 7
Release 7.1 or higher, any existing versions of Navigator Gold will be
removed automatically. If you are installing Communicator on Release
7.0.0 or Release 7.0.1, you must manually remove the previous version of
Netscape Navigator Gold, including the documentation package, before you
can install Netscape Communicator.
- When you you have completed the installation, you will
probably want to remove the download packages from the
/tmp1 directory, as they are rather large.

- To start Netscape Communicator,
enter communicator& in an xterm window.

SCO Strong Encryption Supplement
-
Customers in the United States and Canada are allowed to use
strong encryption
with the Netscape products. All the Netscape client and server
products
use 40-bit encryption by default when using the Secure Socket
Layer (SSL)
protocol to communicate secured information. Strong encryption
allows the
use of 128-bit encryption between clients and servers.
The SCO Strong Encryption Supplement (included with the UnixWare 7
media kit) must be installed to enable strong encryption for all Netscape
products. Installation of the Strong Encryption Supplement prompts for
a license, which can be purchased by calling 1-800-SCO-UNIX.
NOTE: The license can be used on all systems at your site.
Licensing
-
The Netscape Communicator 4.61 browser is free. No separate
license is required unless you use strong encryption.
