I can tell you exactly what the sequence of } events was in my installation of that port: } } 1. Fetch the tar file.

Move the tar file to the distfiles directory and clone the netscape2 } port as netscape3 (the missing "fetch" step here is why I blew the } initial path to the tarball, which Satoshi fixed - whoops!). } } 3. Fix the new netscape3 port to DTRT for the slightly different structure } of the new port - mainly just change "hot-convert.sh" to "moz3_0.zip" } since the hot-convert script was gone and the moz3_0.zip file added. } } 4. Make install. Yow - it worked! } } 5. Visit http://java.sun.com and run all the applets there. Yow, they } work too! } } 6. Import the port. } } I'm running 2.2-current; I wonder if that has anything to do with it? } } Jordan } } > } > Here's what I found out: } > } > 1- moz_blah.zip is in the correct place, because deleteing it causes } > netscape to complain about it missing. } > 2- Java Applets attempt to start (I get subprocess diagnostics as always) } > } > } > Sujal } > } > PS: BTW, has anyone else noticed that the BSDI binary launches much } > faster- and maybe performs better than the Linux one?
