IRIX 6.5 Applications, May 2002
README
The IRIX 6.5 Applications CD, May 2002, is a companion to IRIX 6.5.16.
This CD contains the IRIX Desktop and various desktop applications. It
replaces all previous IRIX 6.5 Applications CDs (June 1998 through November
2001).
Application upgrades shipped with IRIX release are either Full images or
Overlays. Updates to Full images are found on the Applications CD whereas
updated Overlays are found on the IRIX 6.5.16 Overlays, May 2002 CD.
Additional applications can be found on the Base IRIX 6.5.16 CDs. To
install the new versions of Overlay applications you must install IRIX 6.5.16.
IMPORTANT 6.5.16 Apps CD NOTE:
Because the .related_dists file has been removed from the IRIX
6.5.16 Apps CD distribution, users may not be aware of the
/CDROM/dist/dev and /CDROM/dist/extras directories. To access
these use the open option in Software Manager.

Important Notes About the Products
----------------------------------
Netscape Communicator Client
Netscape Communicator Client 4.79 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) 4.79. From Software Manager, open
/CDROM/dist/extras to install this product.
Beginning with Netscape 4.75 the default browser is compiled N32 so
existing Third party Netscape plugins will not work with the new N32
browser. Several plugins do exist in N32 versions. Depending on
which plugins you depend on you may want to install the O32 version
of the browser. These are in non-default installed subsystems of
netscape and netscape_lite.
Release Notes
-------------
If you choose to read the release notes for products before installing
new products, you can now view the release notes easily from Software Manager.
From the desktop Toolchest choose System, then Software Manager. This
will bring up the Software Manager window. Choose to Customize Installation
but typing /CDROM/dist into the Available Software box. A list of products
available for installation will come up. If the product name is highlighted
(similar to an HTML link) then there are Release Notes available. Simply click on the link to bring up the Release Notes window.
