177341 - Startup problems should be documented in the Read Me

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Documentation Graveyard :: Help Viewer, defect)

Description

[Les Connally]

Having just downloaded 1.1 HPUX, and having issues, I had to go to a _different
machine_ *with a browser installed* to read the html Release Notes that
explained why mozilla wouldnt work (needed GTK libraries form HP). Anyone else
see the irony of this? If (text) Release Notes were included in ftp download
directory along with README, it would have saved me grief!

The relnotes are accessible from the download page, so it's not impossible to
view them prior to download and installation. But we should put any issues
related to problems of startup of Mozilla in the Read Me. I don't think we need
to change how the relnotes are accessed. Checking them into the ftp directories
would lead to some file-management overhead.

Changing summary from "Release Notes should be in ftp download directories."

Ccing jatin and robin.

This bug has been buried in the graveyard and has not been updated in over 5 years. It is probably safe to assume that it will never be fixed, so resolving as WONTFIX.
