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.
