6.4 Shell Script - Setting up OS 9 Netscape registry for every user

The first time a user runs Netscape, users are confronted with a setup wizard that asks them to set up their account. This is inconvenient and confusing to first-time users.

The following script automatically sets up Netscape OS 9 registry for every user.

Copy the mknetscaperegs.sh scripts into roots' home directory (/private/var/root/Documents)

Change directory to roots' home directory, type:

cd ~/Documents

Make sure that the execute flag is set on the script "mknetscaperegs.sh" by typing:

chmod u+x mknetscaperegs.sh

Execute the "mknetscaperegs.sh" script as follows:

~/Documents/mknetscaperegs.sh

The script will setup Netscape OS 9 preferences for every user.

The script also sets up the users personal toolbar with some predefined URLs.

This can be customised by altering the script.
