The "readme.txt" file is available at:

I "hope" to (someday) set up a web page that details this distribution plus my other interests.
In the meantime some of the salient features of the "Slim" Public release are:
Profman's "Slim" Public Netscape Distribution, NS702_Public.exe, less than 13.5 MB download.
Components Included/Omitted:
1. Navigator/Composer - YES, MANDATORY
2. Mail/News - YES, chosen by default
3. Classic Skin - YES, chosen by default, but not applied
4. Spell Checker - YES, chosen by default
5. Macromedia Flash - YES, version 6.0 r67, chosen by default
6. Activation - YES, can be canceled
7. Instant Messenger - YES, OPTIONAL, always unchecked by default
8. Sun JAVA2 - NO, links for download included

12. Viewpoint Media Player - NO
13. Winamp - NO
14. HP Printer Identifier Plugin - NO
15. Canadian Regional Pack - NO
16. AOL on Desktop - NO
The "Custom Install" is chosen by default in my package. All "YES" components, except Navigator/Composer, may be selected or unselected in the "Custom Install." The "recommended Install" will install, without asking, all the YES components, except for Instant Messenger, which is an unchosen option (which may be chosen).
Netscape has a Quick Launch feature which has typically caused more trouble than its worth. Quick Launch is one of the first things to disable when you are having certain problems. The Quick Launch Dialog is omitted in my installation package, although you may enable this feature in the browser after installation.
New profiles of this version will have some bookmarks already set for them. These may be changed or deleted. The Personal Toolbar has links to SillyDog (a repository of Netscape versions and knowledge), The LangaList Newsletter, and the Lurker's Guide to Babylon 5 (a great Sci-Fi TV show). There are five other bookmarks listed in "profman's best links" in the bookmarks file. These bookmarks will not show up in established profiles.
The value of the "Slim" distribution is only in the user's mind. This distribution is not designed to replace any other CCK version to which it may be similar. It reflects my likes, dislikes, and a neat hobby. My other distributions, which I may later place on the FTP server, are versions customized to be used at Cedarville University, although, after changing the proxy setting and homepage, they could be used anywhere. I have Netscape 7.01/7.02 versions tested or running on five systems (Windows 2000 and Windows 98 ).
