Selecting MOSAIC HOME Screen

Chris Davis

When you start MOSAIC from any ECN machine, it currently retrieves the Engineering home page by default. This is a good starting place for most engineering students, but what if you would rather start somewhere else? Say, on your own custom homepage?

The easiest way to change your default home page to point somewhere other than the ECN default is to use the -home command line flag. For example:

   Mosaic -home http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/ECN/

will start MOSAIC with the ECN home page.

To use the same page each time you use MOSAIC, make an alias in your startup files. For example, if you use c-shell, placing the following line in your .cshrc file:

alias Mosaic "Mosaic -home http://www/.ecn.purdue.edu/ECN/Newsletters/"

will cause MOSAIC to start up with the table of contents for the No Name Newsletter.
