Communicator does work on powerpc. However, since it is in non-free, it is notoriously difficult to get it working in testing. In this case, it appears that i386 has advanced to -477, while powerpc is stuck with -47 in sid. Perhaps someone with more insight can explain further. I would recommend one of the free alternatives, such as galeon, mozilla, or konqueror, all of which seem to be ok in testing. > I ask you because I'm going to install CUPS and my manual says that the > configuration interface needs Netscape. That is incorrect. It just needs a web browser. I seem to recall configuring cups with lynx in the past. dave...
