Netscape or Mozilla on HPUX 11.i

Hi guys, I need internet on my workstation for a very short space of time, so the fastest and easiest method sounds good to me. I've never tried to load an internet browser before so have no idea where to start? Can anyone point me in the right direction?
So far I have tried installing both netscape 7.0 & Mozilla with swinstall. I already have Gnome. I don't really know what anyt of these packages do but I'm assuming Gnome is the back end and either mozilla or netscape are the front end? Since installing this software I am left stumped as I have tried to run what I believed to be the executable. I.E. /opt/mozilla/mozilla-bin. All I get when trying to run this is an error. I'm using CDE with an FXE graphics card 11.i on a C3600 workstation. If anyone can give me any further input as I'm not an administrator so don't really know where to go from here. I really need to try to get internet running on my machine soon though as I have firmware to download... Thanks for any help...

On my system the executable is /opt/mozilla/mozilla.

But do you really want to download straight to your workstation? I prefer downloading to PC then copying to unix via ftp.

Yeh, I'd prefer to use the server... as it's L&TT I'm intending to install.

copying the updates over is a missoin so I'd prefer to access them direct if and when I need them... We regularly see HVD libraries and don't have an LVD - HVD converter, so can't use a PC.

cheers...

Ewan,

What error do you get? Is your $DISPLAY set properly? I use "/opt/mozilla/mozilla &" to fire off mozilla and "/opt/netscape/netscape" for netscape.

Re: Netscape or Mozilla on HPUX 11.i

Thanks guys, it was me being silly...

I tried /opt/mozilla/mozilla and it worked fine.

I read on the HP website that that mozilla-bin was the executable. Thats where I was going wrong.
/opt/mozilla/mozilla is the script to run it.

Thanks for all your help! :)
