Well, the one -stable box we have around here developed a serious case of discitis, in /usr at that... The drive needs reformatted
and the whole thing needs reinstalled. Later in the week, maybe. We think it might have to do with the use of a new 1500 watt HF
linear amplifier that was messing with several computers prior to some cable re-routing, best guess is that the filesystem got hosed
during some disk writes because of the strong RF, a WinBlowz box shows similar symptoms.
Note to softupdates maintainers: strong RF fields can create situations that softupdates cannot recover from :^)
Anyhow, netscape-6.2 under -current has my seal of approval, with one caveat: make a backup of your bookmarks before installing, and
put them back after installing! The install will clear your netscape-6.1 bookmarks!
