If you could do your browsing as an unprivileged user, or if you could put your /compat/linux on a read-only file system, then the /compat/linux/root/.mozilla/ directory wouldn't be created. That might alleviate the problem. At <URL:http://wp.netscape.com/eng/mozilla/ns7/relnotes/7.html#prefs>; you can get the advice, "do not share a profile between Netscape and Mozilla builds." There are Linux binary ports of the Beonex and Phoenix browsers (ports/www/linux-beonex and ports/www/linux-phoenix). Those keep their profiles in ~/.beonex/ or ~/.phoenix/, so they do not conflict with Netscape 7 or Mozilla. -- Trevor Johnson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
