I have many potato machines, all of which are slink machines that were apt-get'd upgraded to potato, all work fine. i finally found and downloaded and burned a copy of potato test cycle 2 from ftp.debian.org(all 3 cds) and installed it today.
must say im impressed with the new installer full dhcp support and everything, kicks ass. BUT i cant get netscape to install. in the past i downloaded the netscape tar.gz file to /tmp and did an apt-get install netscape4 which then scanned /tmp and tried to find a valid archive to install from, this doesn't happen for some reason, it doesnt even seem to try(doesnt give any errors) i have tried about 6 different netscape packages and none provide a working copuy of netscape. so i had to do it the old fashioned way via the ns-install script inside the netscape archive. is there a way around this or is this a known bug ? i did download the latest netscape packages from the ftp site with the same results. i have 4 other machines in the same room(all identical hardware) using the netscape4 package just fine(but again they were all dist upgraded from slink BUT i did not install netscape until potato was completly installed) im really at a loss as to why it doesnt want to install. any ideas? thanks! nate ::: http://www.aphroland.org/ http://www.linuxpowered.net/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1:03am up 32 days, 11:38, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.00
