INSTALLATION

A web page indicating where to download this PlugIn software should be set up, and the PlugIn-enabled web pages should contain a link to this download web page, as shown in the JavaTM PlugIn v1.2.2 documentation. If the PlugIn software has not been installed, when a PlugIn-enabled web page is clicked, the user will be directed to this download page.

The installation will install the Java PlugIn software in the .netscape subdirectory of your home directory. The installation will check if your home directory has such a subdirectory. If you have run Netscape browsers before, you should already have this subdirectory.

To install, you don't need to become root. Just type: 

$ pkgadd -d `pwd` plugin122

On all platforms, the freefonts package must be installed. This package is available from the free SCO Open License Software Supplement (also known as SCO SkunkwareTM).
