Important Notes About the Products

• If you have insight_dev installed, you will need the November 1998 IRIX Applications CD in order to upgrade insight_dev software during your 6.5.4 upgrade.
• If you want to use CosmoPlayer 1.1 to view VRML worlds, do not use Netscape 4.5. Netscape 4.07 works with CosmoPlayer 1.1; both Netscape 4.07 and CosmoPlayer 1.1 are shipped on the IRIX Applications 6.5, February 1999 CD. Netscape 4.5 or later requires CosmoPlayer 2.1, which is not yet released.
• Netscape Communicator Client 4.51 is part of the default distribution on this CD. Customers who only use the browser functionality (and not the email, newsgroups, etc.) may prefer to install the Netscape Navigator Client (netscape_lite) 4.51. From Software Manager, open /CDROM/dist/extras to install this product.
• Netscape's FastTrack Personal Server on this CD will upgrade and replace the original OutBox Webserver or previous versions of Netscape FastTrack server. Netscape Admin server is now included in the Netscape FastTrack 3.02a product. You will not need to select the Netscape Admin server for installation. Netscape FastTrack will work with OutBox, and needs no special configuration.
