Run Netscape has a user, don't forget to empty the trash folder after each sessions. Netscape tend to !@#%$#@!% when the mail file is to big. 4) /usr is ok. 5) no need to resize the disk Thank You -- [Malartre][malartre@aei.ca][http://www.lowrent.org/freebsd/malartre/] To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
