Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk I just downloaded Netscape 2.0b6a and am starting to get frustrated that Netscape has Java-enabled EVERY SINGLE UNIX version of Netscape EXCEPT for BSDI... What are they thinking, it can't be that difficult (although not knowing how their internal class-library implementation is, I can't be positive, but I am pretty sure they're not using that dlopen() call that was their excuse for not Java-enabling it earlier). Can anyone bend Netscape's ear to add this support sooner? Jordan? Also, I tried running the Linux version, but it gave hundreds of "syslog() not supported" messages and wouldn't read the host.conf file I had placed in "/compat/linux/etc/host.conf", choosing the incompatible /etc version first. I'm running FreeBSD-2.1.0-RELEASE. Should I upgrade to -CURRENT (at least the kernel) to get better Linux emulation? What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jake Hamby | E-Mail: jehamby@lightside.com Student, Cal Poly University, Pomona | System Administrator, JPL ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
