Actually, Ralf, Netscape did go open-source about 9 months or a year ago,
though I no longer know where to look for the sources.
Barring that, however, Lynx will certainly let you navigate, even if you do
have to download the graphics manually.

leafnode doesn't generate one AFAIK. I can't seem to figure the right

Just in case anyone is wondering, I think I found a solution.
In /etc/rc.d/rc5.d the startup sequence had the nfs drives mounting just
after the portmapper started. Apparently the mounts were being attempted
before the portmapper was able to complete its initialization. My solution
was to move the nfsfs script link from S15nfsfs to S45nfsf so that it
started after such daemons as random, syslog, atd, and cron. None of these
daemons required the nfs mounts to run anyway.
Of course, if I ever switch to runlevel 3, this problem could pop back up,
so I just made the same changes in the other runlevel directories as well.
Hey! I really am learning a few things from Linux!

Subject: filenames with spaces....
Date: Tue, 30 Mar 1999 21:30:51 GMT
hello!
I am trying to copy over all the databases from a Win95 machine to my new
Linux server here at work. We have inhouse software that uses filenames with
spaces. I seem to be having a problem connecting to a share on my Linux box
that I created using quotation marks. "shared data" Does Linux handle these
types of files differently than windows? I am using RH5.2, Samba version
that came with it, everything is working perfectly, only I cannot figure this
out. I can see the folder (since it's in the /etc/smb.conf as a share) and
it's really on the machine, but why can't I access it? My machine has all
rights to the folder, I can access everything....what's up with this?
thanks for any help

If you check out one of the Linux newsgroups, I think you'll find out that
there is a version of Netscape Navigator that will compile under Linux. I
don't know if MS's UNIX version of IE will work on Sparc Linux.
