Actually, he'd be better off simply using mozilla instead. It works quite well. BTW, I spoke with Erik, and while my suggestion is fine on a current system, older systems with less powerful CPUs and less memory wouldn't have a fun time with mozilla. In that case, I might suggest using an older version of Netscape like 3.x or 4.0.x. -- Scott ========================== Scott Raymond LinkAmerica Communications http://soundamerica.com ========================== > -----Original Message----- > > On Sat, Jun 02, 2001 at 12:54:54PM +0200, Dominic Parry wrote: > > Hi > > > > What is the problem with Netscape? > > > > :/usr/ports/www/netscape47-navigator # make > > ===> netscape-navigator-4.76 is marked as broken: Has a > serious security > > hole, use 4.77 instead. > > > > Is anyone looking into fixing this? > > > > The problem with Netscape is that Netscape 4.76 has some security > problems.
