Hi,
I installed FreeBSD 4.2 powerpak a couple weeks ago
and have had trouble getting browsers to work. I first installed
netscape-communicator 4.76 at the initial install of BSD. But it
didn't seem to fully install as a search for 'netscape' only
showed up one entry which was in /user/sbin which is OK but there
should be tons of other 'netscape' entries throughout the disk.
Upon using the command 'netscape' it would core dump. At first I
didn't have the compats22 installed but after that it still
coredumps. No error messages showed up during the make & make
install of netscape. I tried other versions of netscape that were
furnished and also a fresh downloaded version from the net. Always
the same, core dumped.

I tried Mosiac and it got on the net OK but after a bit of usage
it coredumped also. Konquerer from KDE  gave me no problems. Kmail
worked pretty good at first but then did some screwy things
requiring Xkill to get it off the screen. 
So I installed Mozilla from ports and it installed OK with no
errow messages. But it coredumped the same as netscape, that is to
say, immediately, without the browser ever coming up on screen.
I have searched around and read a lot of these messages but have
not a clue as to what is wrong although I suspect I need to
configure some file.
Anyone have any clues or hints I can try?
Thanks in advance.

Larry
