Colin: thanks for the info. I have the feeling that Netscape is not the only critical application that has been broken as I note (but have not yet read) a messages about compupic further down the page. Your answer that others have seen and fixed the problem is comforting... the last time this happened I had to downgrade all the way to woody for 6 months.
I'll just put a hold on any sarge upgrades until this shows up. There are such things as mission critical applications, those applications for which you simply cannot do without or cannot invest learning curve time to changeover. That's one big reason I moved to open source: I got sick and tired and fed up with proprietary software vendors pulling the rug from under me all the time, costing me time and money and making me spend efforts on installing and learning their tools instead of doing the work I actually want to do. As to Konqueror. Yeah, looks nice, but... Last time I used it I got my links page eaten in due to confusion between features in mozilla/netscape world and it. Figuring out what happend and restoring from backups cost me a day's work. I never went back. Another poster noted what total hogs all of these browsers are. I agree. They totally eat your computer alive. You have to kill the browser every now and then because the laptop or workstation becomes slower than doing it all on paper. They used to even crash X entirely if you let it go too long. Hopefully someday there will be a good browser for Linux. Good not meaning featureful (Galeon is very nice that way): good meaning respectful of resources, of other processes, of not crashing... -- ------------------------------------------------------ Dale Amon [EMAIL PROTECTED] +44-7802-188325 International linux systems consultancy Hardware & software system design, security and networking, systems programming and Admin "Have Laptop, Will Travel" ------------------------------------------------------ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
