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