Was once able to use the BSDI version but has been marked broken due to a buffer overflow. Bite the bullet. Install the requested comapt22 stuff and let the port install the a.out XFree86 libraries. Or find another web browser such as Konquerer (in KDE). But KDE is a bigger monster than the old a.out libraries. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
