Some of the tabs
and buttons are labeled slightly differently in the Linspire version.
 Sign in/Sign out??”Use this button to configure your logon information for CNR. To use
the CNR Warehouse, you need a valid user account.
 Configure??”This option enables you to specify where CNR will look for files when you are
installing new applications. If you do not have your own repository, leave this setting alone.
The capability to select your source location is relevant only if you choose to install packages
not in the CNR Warehouse, such as an application your network administrator has
made available for installation by users on the local network. For most users, this is not a
real selling point because the real return for buying Linspire comes from accessing applications
in the CNR Warehouse.
 Install/Update Selected??”After you??™ve selected a software package to install from your
source location (local files, CD-based, on the network, or from the CNR Warehouse), you
can initiate the installation process. Items in the warehouse can be installed by clicking
the green globe icon next to the product name in lieu of using CNR??™s Install button.
Most software in the warehouse is freeware. Some commercial applications are available,
but, of course, you have to purchase them before you can install them.
