Gathering Information

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.

Click the Show Example buttons to see examples of the corresponding customization.

For detailed information about the installer decisions you must make on this screen, see Deciding What Kinds of Installers to Create in the Guide to Customizing and Distributing Mozilla 1.4.1.

Installer Options

CD-Ready Installer. 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.

The CD Autorun Screen appears when the CD is inserted into a CD-ROM drive.

The CD autorun screen is not available for Linux installers.

Network-Ready Installer. 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, ftp1.isp.com/Mozilla/download.

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.

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.

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.

Company Identifier

The user agent string identifies the browser type each time the browser accesses your web site or any other web site. 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.

The CCK tool automatically adds (CK-yourstring) to the end of the user agent string for the customized version of Mozilla 7.0 that it produces, where yourstring consists of the company identifier that you supply. This identifer must be no more than ten charcaters in length.

For example, if your company name is Mach Networks, the resulting customized user agent string containing your company identifier might be:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows;U;WinNT5.0;en-US;rv:1.4.1)Gecko/20030827 (CK-Mach-Net)

where you added the company identifier "Mach-Net" using the CCK tool.

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.

If you are preparing several different customized versions of Mozilla, you may want to supply a different user agent string for each one.

Feedback. Click this button to go to a web page where you can provide feedback about the CCK Tool.

Next. 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.

Exit. 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.
