a. To set install options, click the Options menu on the main SD Install window

and click Change Options. We recommend setting the following install options:

• Deselect Mount filesystems in /etc/fstab or /etc/checklist.

with that directory name.

Running Firefox

To run Firefox, several environment variables must be defined before invoking the

shell script that executes Firefox:

1. Ensure $HOME is defined as accessible and writeable across your network.

2. Ensure $DISPLAY is defined as:

# export DISPLAY=yourworkstation:0.0

3. Invoke the script that runs Firefox:

# /opt/firefox/firefox

How to configure Firefox as the default browser using $BROWSER

You can set the $BROWSER environment variable so that applications using $BROWSER

to locate the default Web browser will find Firefox.

Depending on your shell, you can set $BROWSER by:

# export BROWSER=/opt/firefox/firefox

# setenv BROWSER /opt/firefox/firefox
