I run Netscape 2.02 on FreeBSD 2.1R just fine. Did you follow the README instructions? There are a couple symbolic links you must setup into X11R6 to get FreeBSD to run it fine... Make sure you are running 2.02 - 2.0 had some bugs for me. Just for the record, I run it on a 486 with 16MB of RAM and only 65MB of swap... no memory problems at all.. I use pop for sending mail with Netscape. -Mark :%t$sig -- Oops, thought I was in vi.. ------------------------------------------- | Mark Mayo mark@quickweb.com | | C-Soft www.quickweb.com | ------------------------------------------- > > Tony Tam >
