One of the most important preinstallation procedures for any complex piece of software is reading the Release Notes and the Readme files. You would be foolish not to read these files.

Release Notes & Readme File

 

The Readme File

 
When you uncompress the Directory Server software in the next module you'll find a README.TXT file.  The only thing in this file is a pointer to the online Release Notes on Netscape's external site, home.netscape.com.

You can click on the icon shown here to see an example of the README.TXT file.
