FreeBSD anakin.redmond.local 4.2-STABLE FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE #0: Thu Dec  7 22:46:08 PST 2000     jsj@anakin.redmond.local:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/anakin  i386


>Description:
The port, "www/linux-netscape6" is timebombed and a pre-release version. When attempting to run this version a dialog will appear which states "This Preview Release Of Netscape 6 Has Expired. You Will Now Be Taken To Netscape's Site To Download A More Recent Version.". The browser will redirect to Netscape's Download Area. This area attempts to detect the OS which the browser is running on. FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE is not a valid release for Netscape 6 thus this detection fails.


>How-To-Repeat:
Perform a clean installation of the ports/www/linux-netscape6 port and open the browser. Note the timebomb warning and the failed redirection


>Fix:
Update to the Final Release of Linux-Netscape6, or advocate someone at Netscape compile the product for FreeBSD Natively
