You should use the ports-collection /usr/ports/editors/... and /usr/ports/www/... to install the binaries. As far as I know 2 things will not work: - StarOffice's database ADABAS and - Netscape will not be able to display JAVA-applets (JavaScripts will work fine). In case you need JAVA-support you will have to use good ol' netscape communicator 4.78 . > Does Mozilla build > natively on FreeBSD? You will find some native version of Mozilla on www.mozilla.org Uli. *--------------------------------------* | www.pukruppa.de www.2000d.de | | Wuppertal - Germany | *--------------------------------------* To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
