My CDs came from Linux Software Labs if that rings any bells. I'm inclined to blame myself for the problem at this stage though. I might content myself with dpkg for a while and brush up on my typing skills. Sometimes those "8.3" DOS filenames don't seem too bad :-) Oh and my previous claim of getting netscape running have proven to be false. Getting a program to start is not equivalent to getting it to work. I've installed 3 different versions now and given up on all of them.
