I did the unthinkable and put xp back on ;) I have a bsd server or 4 in my house so i'll let them do what they do, and let xp do what it does. Konqueror : No. Can't. It doesn't support all JS and we're a web shop. You can argue with me "yes it does" but i'll say "no it doesn't, i've seen first hand" Fresh BSD System : 5.4 - Yup. did a cvsup, then install firefox , then portupgrade Re profile issue : I wasn't running thunderbird, maybe you meant .mozilla RW: glad to hear it works for you, that's no help to me tho. Eric : wasn't memory usage, i have a gig of ram and the system was not being heavily taxed at all. Thing is, I'm a perl programmer in a web-app shop. So using the opposite of what most of my clients use, I guess wasn't that great of a plan. Maybe some day they'll release a WinXP with FreeBSD running the underbelly. HA ;) Thanks tho guys.=20 Jeff.
