Did this. Went okay.

Did this. Mozilla opened and took me to scoug.comwhen I entered that.
Between what I saw when starting Mozilla from the command line and the
properties of the NS4.61 icon, I completed the template for Mozilla.

Did this but have some questions. Should I integrate Java Web Start with
Mozilla? What does JWS do as a helper application that Java doesn't do as
a plug-in? Should I change the code page used by Java (1252) to match the
IBM JVM (858) when my config.sys includes the line, "codepag=437,850"?
What does JVM mean?

The yellow Mozilla window at startup seems to last a long time. Is there
a way to speed it up (like increasing swapper.dat from its present value
of 2048)?

I had printed out this url. Do I want to install the IBM MPEG support in
the Netscape plug-in pack v. 3.0? I am wondering if it is obsolete.

Many of the plug-ins in this pack involve sound. My ASUS A7V33
motherboard has a line out receptace and VIA KT333 North Bridge and VIA
VT8233A South Bridge chips for which I found drivers on Hobbes and a
Russian url. I am assuming that no sound card is necessary with this
hardware and software and that I can connect some speakers I bought
several years ago to the line out receptacle to use the sound plug-ins.
Am I on the right track?

I am sorry to raise so any questions. If you can, point me to somewhere I
can find the answers to them.

Thanks for the help.

Regards,

Jack
