    If you choose not to use the dusetup automated installation procedure to install the Mozilla Application Suite for Tru64 UNIX® from the Associate Products CD-ROM (APCD), you can choose to install the software manually using the setld(8) command. To begin the setld(8) software installation on a local system, login as root, mount the APCD, and enter the following setld(8) command at the shell prompt:

    • /usr/sbin/setld -l directory/Mozilla/kit

    directory is the path to the directory where the APCD has been mounted for installation. Follow the instructions displayed by the setld(8) command to complete the installation.

    Release notes containing information specific to this version of the Mozilla Application Suite for Tru64 UNIX® are installed at:

    • file:/usr/doc/mozilla/release_notes.html

    Additional information on using the Mozilla Application Suite Runtime Support subset (IAEMOZILLAGRT) with other Mozilla builds on Tru64 UNIX® is available in the README.TRU64 file installed at:

    • file:/usr/opt/mozilla/README.TRU64

  • Usage Instructions
  • The Mozilla Application Suite stores user specific application data under the $HOME/.mozilla directory tree. For Netscape 6 users and users of previous versions of the Mozilla Application Suite, it is highly recommended that you save a backup of and remove the $HOME/.mozilla directory tree before running a newly installed version of the Mozilla Application Suite. Netscape Communicator can be run at the same time as the Mozilla Application Suite or Netscape 6 as the same user, but you cannot run Netscape 6 and the Mozilla Application Suite at the same time as the same user.

    After the installation has completed successfully, any user can enter the following command from a terminal window or shell prompt to start the Mozilla Application Suite:

    • /usr/bin/X11/mozilla

    The /usr/bin/X11/mozilla shell script sets the mandatory environment variables, MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, to the proper values before starting the Mozilla Application Suite. If these environment variables are set in the users environment prior to running /usr/bin/X11/mozilla, they override the default values set by the /usr/bin/X11/mozilla script. If the optional environment variables, TMPDIR, MOZ_PRINTER_NAME, and MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH are set in the users environment, the /usr/bin/X11/mozilla shell script export these environment variables to the Mozilla Application Suites environment.

    Passing the "--help" command line option to the /usr/bin/X11/mozilla script displays the complete list of available command line options.

    You can make the Mozilla Application Suite the default Web client for the system (and for the CDE desktop), by running the /usr/opt/mozilla/set_default_client shell script from a terminal window or from the console prompt as the root user. Choosing the Mozilla option from the menu displayed, will cause the /usr/bin/X11/netscape script to run the Mozilla Application Suite instead of Netscape Communicator.

    Once the Mozilla Application Suite has been set as the system default Web client, Netscape Communicator can still be started by running the /usr/bin/X11/netscape4 startup script.
