Quite pleased with the Konquerer web browser myself. The only real problems I have with arts is that it doesn't startup when I log in, but I can start it by hand and it more or less works fine. For some reason it can;t play mp3s, even though I think it is supposed to. Sometimes I have to hit the logout button twice before it will work, but it does work. There are a few other minor glitches, but it basically works fine. I am now using konqueror for the lion's share of my browsing since it makes a very capable replacement for netscape (java doesn't always seem to work, but that is more of a plus.) -- Jonathan Fosburgh Open Systems Communications and Computer Services UT MD Anderson Cancer Center Houston, TX To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
