- Important Notes About the Products
- ----------------------------------
- CDE 5.3.3
- The new release of CDE 5.3.3 is dependent on the updated version of
- ToolTalk that is included with IRIX 6.5.19 or later. ToolTalk patch
- 4915 was created that will allow this version of CDE to install
- on earlier versions of IRIX 6.5.X.
-
- Netscape Communicator Client
- Netscape Communicator Client 4.8a is part of the default distribution
- on the other Applications CD. Customers who only use the browser
- functionality (and not the email, newsgroups, etc.) may prefer to
- install the Netscape Navigator Client (netscape_lite) 4.8a located
- on this Complementary Applications CD. From Software Manager, open
- /CDROM/dist/extras to install this product.
-
- Beginning with Netscape 4.8 the default browser is compiled N32 so
- older Third party Netscape plugins will not work with the new N32
- browser. All plugins exist in N32 versions except the older Shockwave
- plugin. The O32 Netscape client s/w is no longer part of the
- distribution.
-
