Considering that I just did "portugrade -fRR galeon" and after about 3
hours of crunching, I still have the exact same problem, could you tell me
how to get any of this addiatioanl information that might lead to
diagnosing this problem?

Or failing that, could anyone sugest a way to get _a workibg_ version of
galeon (prefered) or mozilla (second choice) for my 4.7 STABLE i386
mahcine?

Any hep whatsover is appreciated. I find not habing a working browser to be
a problem :-)
