Use locate(1) to find where `netscape' exists on your system, and check if the permissions allow execution by everyone. Then make sure that the directory where the binary is in the PATH, and if not add it to the PATH or symlink the binary to a directory that already is. > 2)I cannot run doom...

Doesn't doom have some option to turn off sound support, so all the users of the world will be able to happily run it? > Kernel Linux support is enabled. How is this related to the questions above? Are you running a linux version of Netscape, or a linux version of doom, or (perhaps) neither? -- Giorgos Keramidas, <keramida@ceid.upatras.gr> "What we have to learn to do, we learn by doing."
