With either Netscape or Mozilla, does it make sense to store the browser cache in my AFS home-directory?
No! For best possible performance users should change the path of their browser cache to /export/data01/my_directory if possible. Here’s how: For Mozilla: • From the “Edit” menu select “Preferences”. • From the “Advanced” menu select “Cache”. • Look for “Disk Cache Folder” and press the “Choose Folder” button. • In the file selector box click your way to /export/data01 (or /export/oldhome) — it will find your username. • Press “OK” in the file selector box and then “OK” again in the “Preferences” box. Done! For Netscape 4: • From the “Edit” menu select “Preferences”. • From the “Advanced” menu select “Cache”. • Look for “Cache Folder” and press the “Choose” button. • A standard Motif file dialog box will open allowing you to enter an explicit path to a cache location. Select /export/data01/your_directory. • Press “OK” in the file dialog box and then “OK” again in the “Preferences” box. Done!
