4. Installing Netscape 7.1 for Cadence Documentation viewing
------------------------------------------------------------

-Open a Console (Konsole)
-Make sure you are also logged in as root:
> su -
Password:> (enter the root password here)

-Click "Next" to continue
-Click "Install" to make the Netscape installation
-Click "OK" when installation has completed: now Netscape is installed into /usr/local/netscape/
-Go to the directory in which the RealPlayer RMP is located:
> cd /home/thedock/CadenceInstall/RealPlayer
-Launch the installation of the RealPlayer RPM:
> rpm -i rp8.linux20.libc6.i386.cs2.rpm --nodeps --force

5. Configuration of the Environement Variables
----------------------------------------------
-After you applied the Hacker Script successfully, you must configure the environement variables
-Now goto your following directory: /home/thedock/
-Edit the .bashrc file: /home/thedock/.bashrc (for bash users only, the others will not be described, but take a look at the end if you are using ksh or compatible)
-Add the environement that follows:
export ACV_ROOT="/Cadence/VSDE33/tools/acv"
export LANG C
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/netscape:/Cadence:/Cadence/IC5033:/Cadence/IC5033/tools:/Cadence/IC5033/tools/dfII:/Cadence/IC5033/tools/dfII/bin:/Cadence/IC5033/tools/bin:$ACV_ROOT/bin
-If you do not use bash (csh for example), you will need to use following syntax:
setenv ACV_ROOT /Cadence/VSDE33/tools/acv
setenv LANG C
set path = ($path /usr/local/netscape /Cadence /Cadence/tools /Cadence/tools/dfII /Cadence/tools/dfII/bin /Cadence/tools/bin $ACV_ROOT/bin)
-The variables for other shells can also be found in the following directory: /home/thedock/CadenceInstall/InstallCadence_extrafiles/envvariables)
-Reboot you computer
-Open a Console (Konsole for example)
