Hi Kali

I also did try monkeylinux once upon a time... What kind of netcape did
you manage to setup and use? 3.04 I suppose.

There are better options if you're trying to use Linux without
repartitioning. One of them is called ZipSlack and is up-to-date with the
latest stuff. I believe it is made to be run from a zip drive, but I think
it has a UMSDOS filesystem like most of the minidistros.

The other is pygmy linux. I tried it too. This has the most of the console
based stuff, but I managed to add X-Window to it quite easily. It is glibc
2.1 based and this is what arachne requires. 

If you're and other people are still curious about what can Arachne for
linux do, this is the answer: It has only about 50% of the features. It
can
only download and render HTML pages (or oter things via http only). Most
of the ".ah" stuff is still not
implemented, meaning you can't setup anything in a friendly way. No
e-mail, no ftp IIRC...
To run it outside X requires you to be root... and other disadvantages.
