- Installation Instructions
- ==============================================================================
-
- By default, Netscape expects to live in the directory c:\netscape.
- The easiest way to install Netscape is to copy the self extracting
- executable (ns16-093.exe) to a temporary directory. Then using either
- the File Manager or from a DOS prompt extract the setup files by
- running the self extracting executable. The last step is to run the
- Windows Setup program "setup.exe" from the temporary directory.
-
- The Netscape Setup program will install Netscape in a directory of
- your choice (default of c:\netscape), add a Netscape section to your
- WIN.INI file, and create a Program Manager group and item.
-
- If you don't use the Netscape Setup program and you install Netscape
- in a directory other than c:\netscape you should update the following
- fields in your NETSCAPE.INI file (the Netscape Setup program handles
- this automatically):
-
- [History]
- History File=c:\netscape\netscape.hst
-
- [Bookmark List]
- File Location=c:\netscape\bookmark.htm
-
- [Cache]
- Cache Dir=c:\netscape\cache
-
- [Cookies]
- Cookie File=c:\netscape\cookies.txt
-
- If Netscape cannot write these files (for example, if the directory
- doesn't exist) Netscape will still run; however, global history and
- bookmarks will not be saved between sessions.
-
- No matter where you install Netscape, you should make a subdirectory
- named "cache" or disk caching will be disabled (the Netscape Setup
- program will automatically do this for you). By default, Netscape tries
- to use the directory c:\netscape\cache as its disk cache directory.
- The default disk cache size is 5Meg. Right now, both attributes can
- only be changed by editing the INI file.
-
- * Initialization File
- The zip file for Netscape contains the initialization file netscape.ini,
- which has entries for all of the values you can customize for Netscape.
- If you have never used any other versions of Netscape before, you should
- run the setup program.
-
- * Please read the release notes under "Help -> Version Information".
