RE: Info Center TOC and Firefox?

["Cox, Joe" <joecox@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Dan & Rob.  I am using IE and neither the web nor the CD work.
Fortunately I printed out most of what I need and the V5R2 InfoCenter
still works from another PC.  And I can get to any of the PDF's.  I was
just trying to do the last bits of homework and follow the checklists.

The Hardware Information Center is a CD that comes with a new i5 server
instead of a printed hardware manual.  I've got some help installing the
server so I think we've got everything covered.  It would just be nice
to have all the resources available that IBM says to use.

It *is* Dan.  <g>

Makes you pine for the good ole' days of reams of paper manuals?

I know this may "pane" you, but you may have to suffer with using IE to
use
InfoCenter for the time being.  Some people have reported that the
earlier
plug-in solved whatever problems they were having with InfoCenter,
others,
myself included, got no relief from it.

I'm not sure what you mean by "installing the Hardware Information
Center",
since I don't do hardware stuff, but I seem to recall that with the
"regular" InfoCenter cd-rom install, the links don't work from there;
the
links only work when you're using InfoCenter online.
