While nautilis-gtkhtml is kind of one, the nautilus team decided it was piss-poor, and removed web browser support from nautilus. (Those running GNOME 2 might have noticed the bookmarks disappeared from the menu). Galeon is really the best choice for a GNOME 1 or 2 web browser. While it is a GNOME 1 application, it will run just fine under GNOME 2. >=20 > I believe both parts are part of the gnome-fifth-toe meta-port along > with AbiWord, Gnumeric, and several other important Gnome > applications. Yep. And gnome-fifth-toe will compile and run under GNOME 2 without any problems (or at least it should). Joe >=20 > R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer > Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) > Ernest O.
