Hello, That's me of an hour ago, about Netscape 7 and Mozilla bugging. I managed to get Netscape 7 working: a) The phantom profiles were in fact located inside the=20 /usr/compat/linux/root/.mozilla directory. Indeed Netscape 7 on FreeBSD 4= =2E7=20 seems to use that directory instead of /root/.mozilla . So erasing that=20 /usr/compat/linux/root/.mozilla directory was a first upgrade. Then let=20 Netscape 7 create a new one. b) Next problem is the "lock" link inside /usr/compat/linux/root/.mozilla= =20 directory is not deleted when Netscape 7 exits (=20 /usr/compat/linux/root/.mozilla/default/5th6tt7g.slt/lock in my very case= ),=20 even on a perfectly sane and regular exit. The reason is Netscape 7 tries= to=20 erase the lock link from the /root/.mozilla directory... So I simply crea= ted=20 a link /root/.mozilla pointing towards the /usr/compat/linux/root/.mozil= la=20 directory. That's it. Mozilla still won't work, even while I deinstalled, cleaned, erased the=20 directories and reinstalled completely both the linux_base and linux-mozi= lla=20 ports. Sincerely.
