Things to remember & test during installation
NA ENIMEROTHOUN KAI OI FYSIKOI GIA TIS ALLAGES/APPLICATIONS POY THELOYN
General settings:
- tcsh link
- yum.conf -> packages are stored on /var/cache/yum/updates-released/packages - should be deleted on reqular basis? (/var on olympia was full)
- can we configure mozilla/netscape, for all users to accosiate pdf with acrobat?
- Just install the plugin in the mozilla/firefox installation directory under plugins and they should be able to view pdf files inside the browser window -- nsc
- Download the adobe aacrobat reader rpm from the adobe site and install it
- Run the command /usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/install_browser_plugin to install the plugin for the browser
- Select Global Installation
- When asked where the browser is installed enter the path where firefox is installed (e.g.:/usr/lib/firefox-1.0.4/)
- If you you want to install it for mozilla and netscape answer y to the question Do you want to install another browser ? [y/n] and repeat the previous step with the right path
- Check your browsers .... DONE -- nsc
- man pages setup (for both shells)
- Manifold /gcc/fotran
- we should include in crontab scripts for daily and weekly jobs (i.e remove core files, log files etc, clean printer queues). The scripts can be placed on a common place, so as to add/remove commands easily
