My hardware is also different from yours, CPU: Pentium II (quarter-micron) (398.27-MHz 686-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x651 Stepping=1 Features=0x183f9ff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,<b16>,<b17>,MMX,<b24>> real memory = 134217728 (131072K bytes) avail memory = 129613824 (126576K bytes) Probing for devices on PCI bus 0: chip0 <generic PCI bridge (vendor=8086 device=7190 subclass=0)> rev 2 on pci0:0:0 chip1 <generic PCI bridge (vendor=8086 device=7191 subclass=4)> rev 2 on pci0:1:0 chip2 <Intel 82371AB PCI-ISA bridge> rev 2 on pci0:7:0 chip3 <Intel 82371AB IDE interface> rev 1 on pci0:7:1 chip4 <Intel 82371AB USB interface> rev 1 int d irq 9 on pci0:7:2 chip5 <Intel 82371AB Power management controller> rev 2 on pci0:7:3 Which makes me wonder if it is Netscape at fault or something very basic in the kernel. -- Crist J.
