The easiest way to install Netscape is to create the c:\netscape directory and unzip the Netscape zip file there. If you place Netscape in a directory other than c:\netscape you should update the following fields in your INI file: [History] History File=c:\netscape\mosaic.hst [Bookmark List] File Location=c:\netscape\bookmark.htm [Cache] Cache Dir=c:\netscape\cache 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 turned off automatically. 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 Mosaic before, you should copy the netscape.ini file to your windows directory. * Reusing NCSA Mosaic INI files If you would like to reuse your initialization file from NCSA Mosaic for Windows, you can go into your windows directory and copy mosaic.ini to netscape.ini. Netscape will be able to read home page information out of the file, but is currently unable to convert NCSA Mosaic hotlists into Netscape bookmark lists. If you reuse an old INI file you should make sure you add the fields for "History File" and "File Location" as outlined in the Installation section of this document. * Please read the release notes under "Help -> Version Information". * Yes, this is Mozilla. ==============================================================================
