-
- This chapter lists supplemental information to the _I_R_I_S
- _S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _G_u_i_d_e. The information listed here is
- product- and release-specific; use it with the Installation
- Guide to install this product.
-
- 2.1 _G_e_n_e_r_a_l__I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n__I_n_f_o_r_m_a_t_i_o_n
-
- If you are installing this software from the Desktop Special
- Edition CD you may not wish to install all the products.
- There are three methods you can use to help determine what
- software products you wish to install. You can insert the
- CD and read the release notes for each product (refer to the
- CD installation booklet included with the CD for information
- on how to do this). A second method is to insert the CD,
- double-click on the icon and click "Custom Installation" in
- the Software Manager application to browse the products on
- the CD. For more complete information we recommend that you
- first install only the WhatsNew product and the
- 1_1_DesktopSpecialEdition release notes. The WhatsNew
- product will display extensive information about all the
- products on the Desktop Special Edition CD the first time
- you log into your system.
-
- If you already have a World Wide Web Server installed on
- your system, we advise you to read through the release notes
- for the OutBox product before you install your Desktop
- Special Edition software. If you are running early releases
- of the Netscape Communications Server (prior to version
- 1.12), Silicon Graphics recommends that you upgrade to
- version 1.12. It is important to read the release notes for
- version 1.12 prior to installing it.
-
- If you are a software developer and have il_dev already
- installed on your system, refer to chapter 3, Known Problems
- and Workarounds.
-
- Do not install the Showcase 3.3.3 product if you are running
- in the Japanese, Korean or Chinese locales. Instead,
- install the version of Showcase that appears in the latest
- version of the language module for your locale. If you have
- already installed Showcase 3.3.2 or Showcase 3.3.3 you must
- install patch 1005 to restore the CID font capability.

- To determine whether your system has the Desktop Special
- Edition software pre-installed on the hard disk use the
- Software Manager tool, click on the "Manage Installed"
- button and look in the list of software for the
- "1_1_DesktopSpecialEdition" product. The presence of this
- product on your hard disk indicates that you have the
- Desktop Special Edition software pre-installed on your

-
- If you have the Desktop Special Edition software pre-
- installed on your system the following information applies:
-
- +o You may have purchased additional software products
- included with your system (e.g. Indy Modeller,
- WebFORCE). In order to determine which additional
- products have been installed on your system refer to
- the WhatsNew pages by selecting "What's New?" on the
- Find menu of the Toolchest.
-
- +o There may be additional products on your Desktop
- Special Edition CD that have not been pre-installed on
- your hard disk. To install these products refer to the
- CD installation booklet included with the CD. These
- products may require a license. To obtain temporary
- licenses send electronic mail (email) to
- demolicense@sgi.com. The content of the message is
- ignored. You will receive an automatic email response
- to your license request. Alternatively, you can use
- the World Wide Web to request temporary licenses from

-
- +o The PC-NFS Server Components product is included on the
- Desktop Special Edition CD but may not been pre-
- installed on your hard disk. In order to use or

- product. If you do not have the NFS product, it may be

-
-

-
- The following information applies to systems running IRIX
- 6.1 that are being upgraded to run the Desktop Special
- Edition software.
-
- +o Desktop Special Edition is supported on IRIX 5.3 and
