Help installing Netscape 6 Preview Release 2.
Hello,
I'm running the Netscape browser that came with RedHat Linux 6.2.
I'd like to try out the new Netscape browser, but as I'm new to Linux, I
need some help.
I can go to the download site and choose the following file.
netscape-i686-pc-linux-gnu-sea.tar.gz
Then what? In which directory/folder should I place it?
Need I be in root account to install Netscape?
After downloading the file, what do I do?
What's .gz & .tar? I'm assuming that -sea stands for "self-extracting
archive". What do I do/type to install the software?
How do I remove the old Netscape browser, afterwards?
I may need step-by-step instructions.
Thanks in advance.

Subject: Same IRQ for Modem & Sound
Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2000 22:19:36 GMT
Hello,
I have a HP 3390 Notebook with the same IRQ of 5 for the sound and
modem. I installed Mandrake 7.1 and it's great ! I can use Mandrakes
Hardware utility Harddrake Config and it finds the modem and sound but
does not list any info in the right pane. I can go to the /dev dir and
the sound file is flashing red, probably because of the IRQ conflict.
This thing has a built in modem and sound but with different mem
addresses. ALso upon shut down I see an error that Mandrake cannot save
the Sound config.. Any way to set them up ?? Or buy an external PCMCIA
Modem/Lan by Linksys??
I would appreciate any info,, David

I just compiled the new kernel (2.2.17) on my RH6.2 box according to 2 diff't howto's.
One from www.linuxdoc.org and one from
www.linuxnewbie.org.
Everything seemed to go okay when I did a "make bzImage". I copied the bzImage to
/boot/ and renamed it to "vmlinuz-2.2.17"
to follow the existing convention... I then edited my /etc/lilo.conf to reflect the
new kernel:
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.14-5.0
label=linux-backup
read-only
...
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.17
label=linux
read-only
...
I then ran "/sbin/lilo" and there were no error messages. The output was:
Added linux-backup
Added linux *
I rebooted and now the friggin' machine halts with the prompt: "LIL-". It jsut sits
there. LUckily I made a boot disk so I
still have access to the machine.
What should I do?

Does anybody know What's new in Kernel 2.2.17 ? I tried searching about
this on www.kernel.org but could not find anything. I am planning to go
from 2.2.14 to 2.2.17.
Is there a document which says whatz new in 2.2.17?

when you get to the linux install simply delete the partition you had set
aside for linux.
then with the free space you have just created...you may *add* your linux
partitions.

Hi
I need to synchronize a few servers on the network. I guess I'll use timed

alternative) but I'm mostly curious as to how I can synchronize a "master"

Hi, I have a Zoom external modem but have trouble initializing it upon
boot. After my system is ready, I run minicom and don't get the "OK"
prompt. If I type "AT" myself, I see nothing on the screen. The strange
thing is that if I switch the power of my external modem off and then on
again, I can get the modem to respond with "OK" when I type
"AT". Does anyone know why this is happening? Oh, the modem is turned on
during the boot process.
I've gone through the suggestions in the Modem-HOWTO. ie. I've checked
for IRQ conflicts. So far, everything in my system seems to be set up
correctly.
Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks.

I have an old PC with 2 hard drives.
The drive which has windows is small and I do not want to use it.
The other drive is new and was used as a slave drive.
I would like remove the old small drive and to install linux on the slave
drive.
Will I need windows/dos installed on the slave drive to install linux?
Are there installers that run off a boot disk?

Try LOWER the sync values. Tell the X configurator that your
monitor is less capable than it actually is. That usually helps.

No. But the HD hardware spec for PC's only allows room in the
partition table for four primary partitions. One of these per
physical device can be defined as an "extended partition" which
in turn can contain an arbitrary number "logical" partitions."
Users of Microsoft operating systems sometimes find this to be a
problem as MS operating systems refuse to boot from anything but
a primary partition. Linux and other non-MS operating systems
(eg OS/2, DR-DOS, BeOS, etc.) have no problem booting from a
logical partition so the "4 prmimary partitions per physical
device" limitation is moot.

Subject: how to debug crashing application
Date: Tue, 19 Sep 2000 01:35:29 GMT
First off, I debated about where I should post this message and decided
on this group. Redirects to a more appropriate forum are welcome.
Let me start this thread by being general. Netscape crashes when I
access certain web sites (such as www.intellicast.com). It seems to be
related to java cgi documents - however, that is just a guess. I'll be
more specific about versions and such, if necessary, in a later thread.
QUESTION: How do I go about debugging this problem to determine if it
is java realted, a netscape issue, or some other Linux configuration
problem? Are there any debugging utilities that I can use to reveal the
cause of my problem? I've tried upgrading Netscape and Java, but the
issue persists.
The difficulty is that netscape gets caught up in an endless loop (I
guess). It consumes about 90% of my CPU cyles and all open windows at
that time will fail to update. To resume, I have to kill -9 netscape.
