    47 Installation Notes:
       
    48 ===================
       
    49 FileBrowser is typically preinstalled on ROM. If not, it can be added to the
       
    50 ROM with the .iby file. Alternatively, the .sis file can be found under the sis-
       
    51 directory, but the user need to sign it with their own developer certificate.
       
    52 In Nokia R&D environment, you can use directly the R&D-signed .sis file under the
       
    53 internal\sis directory.
       
    54 
       
    55 FileBrowser is provided as full and lite version. Lite version is aimed for
       
    56 those who cannot sign with TCB capability. Lite version can be generated by
       
    57 defining FILEBROWSER_LITE flag and then by recompiling the application and
       
    58 regenerating the sis file.
       
    59 
       
    60 When signing with own developer certificate, the following capabilities are
       
    61 needed in the lite version:
       
    62   ReadDeviceData
       
    63   WriteDeviceData
       
    64   DiskAdmin
       
    65   AllFiles
       
    66   SwEvent
       
    67   NetworkServices
       
    68   LocalServices
       
    69   ReadUserData
       
    70   WriteUserData
       
    71   Location
       
    72   UserEnvironment
       
    73   
       
    74 The full version requires these addtional capabilities:
       
    75   CommDD
       
    76   PowerMgmt
       
    77   MultimediaDD
       
    78   DRM
       
    79   TrustedUI
       
    80   ProtServ
       
    81   NetworkControl
       
    82   SurroundingsDD
       
    83   TCB
       
    84 
       
    85 When builing FileBrowser against S60 3.0 or 3.1, you may need to patch your SDK
       
    86 environment first with some fixes. For more information, please refer to the
