WesterNet: FTP & Browser Updates : How to Do It

Steps 1 - 10 are a method of transferring files very quickly called FTP. When new
browsers or other interesting things come out, they will be installed here for your
 convenience.  You will find this much faster than downloading off the Internet.
 I welcome your comments and suggestions.



Start by printing this page.  This way you can use the checklist.  These instructions
 are specific to Netscape,  but Internet Explorer users may modify them.

1.  Exit all programs, out to the Desktop.

2.  Launch your browser (Netscape or Internet Explorer)

3.  In the address line type: ftp://westernet.net/ and <return>.

4.  Next click on the Browsers folder to open it.

5.  The newest Netscape is "cc32d479.exe" Select it.

6.  You will be warned that you are starting a download.  Click <Save File>.

7.  Next the "Save As..." window will open.  If "Temp" is not in the "Save
In..." box, use the Down arrow til you get to your C: drive, click on it,
then double click "Temp" from the big box.  That will put it in the "Save
In..." box.

8.  Next click <Save>.

9.  Wait until your download is finished.

10.  Close your browser.  You should be at the Desktop.

11.  Click <Start> to <Run>.

12.  Type c:\temp\cc32d479 and <return>.

13.  The Installation Wizard will take over.  Take the default answers,
except at the page with three boxes.  Uncheck everything but "Make Netscape
my Internet Default Browser".

14.  When you are done, it will prompt you to reboot.  Do so.

15.  If new icons for "AOL Instant Messenger" and "Real G2" are on your
Desktop, you may delete them by right-clicking on them.

16.  Now would be a good time to clean up your "Temp" folder.  Use "My
Computer" or "Windows Explorer" to open the "Temp" folder.  Right-click on
old items to delete them.  Netscape files will start with cc32...  When you
are done, click on your Trash icon, click on "file" and "Empty..."  Your hard
drive will thank you!
