The CCK tool allows you to customize basic Mozilla preferences and defaults and add your own branding elements to the Navigator browser, the CD autorun screen, and the Mozilla installer. These customizations can help promote your business, simplify account set up for new users, drive traffic to your site, and reduce service and support costs by providing links to online resources.

The CCK Tool creates Mozilla installers for Windows 95/98, Windows 2000, Windows NT, and Linux operating systems. You can also produce a Macintosh version by completing additional manual steps (documented in this guide) after you produce a Windows version.

The CCK tool lets you create the simplest set of customizations in just a few minutes. These customizations, which require minimal preparation, include the following:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Display your company name in the browser window's title bar, the CD autorun screen, and the Mozilla program folder in the Windows Start menu.

Create a Mozilla installer that installs only the components you want your users to have.

After you have run the tool and tested its customizations, you can perform a wide range of advanced manual customizations by modifying the installation files. Manual customizations include:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Advanced customizations for the CD autorun screen
|
|
<a name="15271"> </a>
|
|
<img src="pixel.gif" align="top" height="22" alt="" />
|
|
</li><br>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Advanced Mozilla customizations (such as presetting proxy preferences)
|
|
<a name="15278"> </a>
|
|
<img src="pixel.gif" align="top" height="22" alt="" />
|
|
</li><br>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p class="text">
|
|
<a name="15267"> </a>
|
|
After you have tested your manual customizations, you may need to manipulate the installation files further to create Macintosh installers. In addition, you'll need to prepare to distribute your installers (by means of CDs or network-downloadable installers) and plan for post-distribution support, such as account setup and troubleshooting.

<!--If you've used a previous version of CCK for Communicator 4.x, the main difference with this version is that instead of using separate tools to customize the browser, you now use just one tool—the CCK tool—to make the most popular browser customizations. If you used Netscape 6.1 CCK, the main change with Mozilla 1.4.1 is additional support for Linux.
