I downloaded netscape navigator standalone, the file name is: navigator-v408-export.x86-unknown-freebsd.tar It was also with a .gz, but I was able to unzip that with the gunzip utility, following the instructions. Now I have the tar file, and I've been trying the following: Eco1# tar -x navigator-v408-export.x86-unknown-freebsd.tar It responds with : Tar: can't open /dev/rst0 : Device not configured. Can anyone help? I finally got my freebsd box on the network, I can ftp and telnet and ping, but I'd like to actually load a program or two on the machine also. :-) Thanks, Ira Miller To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
