Getting Started

Note: These notes pertain to the SCO Skunkware 96 CD-ROM
For information on ordering this free CD, see info.html.

# mount -r -f RCKRDG /dev/cd0 /mnt
# /usr/bin/X11/netscape file:/mnt/index.html

If you do not have netscape installed, download a trial copy from http://athena.sco.com/drive/, install NCSA Mosaic off of this CD, or use any browser that supports tables and open the URL file:/mnt/index.html (assuming you mounted the CD on /mnt). If you do not have a graphical browser, you might want to check out Lynx 2.5FM a character browser available in custom installable form on this CD.

For further information on installation and use, see the file RELEASE.NOTES.
