<font face="Arial"><font size=-1>Gathering Information</font></font></h2>
<font face="Arial"><font size=-1>This screen enables you to specify that
whether the customized browser installer produced for this configuration
will be CD-ready, network ready, or both. This screen also requires you
to specify your company's identifier as part of the user agent string that
the installed browser presents to web sites.</font></font>
<p><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>Click the Show Example buttons to see
examples of the corresponding customization.</font></font>
<p><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>For detailed information about the
installer decisions you must make on this screen, see Deciding What Kinds
of Installers to Create in the <i>Guide to Customizing and Distributing
Mozilla 1.4.1.</i></font></font>
<h4>
<hr><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>Installer Options</font></font></h4>
<font face="Arial"><font size=-1><b>CD-Ready Installer.</b> If you plan
to distribute your installer in CD form, select "Include CD Autorun Screen."
This option tells the CCK tool to include the standard CD Autorun Screen
in your custom installer. You can customize this screen if you wish.</font></font>
<p><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>The CD Autorun Screen appears when
the CD is inserted into a CD-ROM drive.</font></font>
<p><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>The CD autorun screen is not available
for Linux installers.</font></font>
<p><font face="Arial"><font size=-1><b>Network-Ready Installer.</b> If
you plan to distribute a network-ready stub installer for Windows or Mac
OS 9, enter the complete URL for the FTP or HTTP download directory location
where you plan to post the Mozilla nstaller files, for example, </font></font><tt>ftp1.isp.com/Mozilla/download</tt><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>.</font></font>
<p><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>Make sure the location of the FTP download
directory where you plan to post the Mozilla installer files for Windows
corresponds exactly to the FTP download directory URL you enter on this
screen.</font></font>
<p><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>If you plan to distribute a customized
Linux installer over the network, you can do so only in "fat" form: the
user downloads the entire Linux tar file for Mozilla 1.4.1, unpacks it,
and runs an installer script. Don't enter any URL here if you are creating
a Linux configuration.</font></font>
<p><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>If you plan to distribute customized
Mac OS X program files, you can do so only in compressed binary form: the
user downloads the compressed binary files, unstuffs them, and launches
Mozilla 1.4.1 directly. Don't enter any URL here if you are creating a Mac
OS X configuration only.&nbsp;</font></font><a NAME="identifier"></a>
<h4>
<hr><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>Company Identifier</font></font></h4>
<font face="Arial"><font size=-1>The user agent string identifies the browser
type each time the browser accesses your web site or any other web site.&nbsp;
Adding your company identifier to the standard user agent string allows
you to track the number of times your site is accessed by web browsers
that you've customized.</font></font>
<p><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>The CCK tool automatically adds </font></font><tt>(CK-</tt><i>yourstring</i><tt>)</tt><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>
to the end of the user agent string for the customized version of Mozilla
7.0 that it produces, where <i>yourstring</i> consists of the company identifier
that you supply. This identifer must be no more than ten charcaters in
length.</font></font>
<p><font face="Arial"><font size=-1>For example, if your company name is
Mach Networks, the resulting customized user agent string containing your
company identifier might be:</font></font>
<p><tt><font color="#000000">Mozilla/5.0 (Windows;U;WinNT5.0;en-US;rv:1.4.1)Gecko/20030827
(CK-Mach-Net)</font></tt>
<p><font face="Arial"><font color="#000000"><font size=-1>where you added
the company identifier "Mach-Net" using the CCK tool.</font></font></font>
<p><font face="Arial"><font color="#000000"><font size=-1>You must customize
the user agent string. The CCK Tool will not allow you to proceed to the
next screen unless you provide a company identifier of 10 characters or
less.</font></font></font>
<p><font face="Arial"><font color="#000000"><font size=-1>If you are preparing
several different customized versions of Mozilla, you may want to supply
a different user agent string for each one.&nbsp;</font></font></font>

Click this button to go to a web page where you can provide feedback about
the CCK Tool.</font></font></font>
<p><font face="Arial"><font color="#000000"><font size=-1><b>Next.</b>
Each time you click Next in a CCK screen, the information you entered or
changed on that screen gets automatically saved with the selected configuration.</font></font></font>
<p><font face="Arial"><font color="#000000"><font size=-1><b>Exit.</b>
Click this button to exit the CCK Tool. The customizations you have specified
in any preceding screens will be saved, but information you have specified
on the current screen will not.&nbsp;</font></font></font>
