What's more, if you download the BSD version, it will work as well. That's a nice feature of FreeBSD, if it is running Linux emulation. (In fact, I have to use a great deal of Linux user progs because they have not been ported or written them for FreeBSD at all and since I am not a programmer I cannot port them myself... smetimes it works sometimes it crashes. It depends.) A nice feature of the Linux version of Netscape is that it can handle plugins, like Shockwave Flash. (Although I am using RealPlayer 5.0 as a plugin under the FreeBSD version as well and it works but do not tell anyone else save for video output which is garbled dunno why:-))))) Regards: Szilveszter Szeged University Hungary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
