I have Netscape installed and running on my BSD box! I was getting an error in rpm2cpio. I just needed to install that with some special args in order for it to work. In my last message, I referenced Debian a couple times, I like the software, but IMHO, Linux is meant for Intel. BSD handles the Alpha hardware much better. Just wanted to clarify that I am in favor of BSD. :) Again, thank you Andrew and everyone else for putting up with my questions and helping me along!
