I'm running the BSDi version of Netscape 1.1 on FreeBSD 2.0.5. It seems to be working fine, but when started, it reports: netscape: uname() failed; can't tell what system we're running on This doesn't appear to be much of a problem, but I have been denied access to some Web sites that I could see when using Netscape 1.1 from a SPARCstation; and was wondering if the uname() problem might be causing some authentication error. Which leads to the question: Is there a work-around for the uname() problem? My only other problem with NetScape is related to color usage when displaying remotely on my SPARCstation. The SPARCstation has a 24bit color framebuffer, and the netscape image colors are badly messed up unless I force it to use a PseudoColor visual. I suspect that both problems are caused by static linking to a bad/incompatible libraries... -Pat
