Again, I say to you... huh? > ...If I use the mozilla home page as default get can't > find server error. This is a routing issue, The default Home page for Mozilla should come up fine.

If you don't want Netscape, use Google. Google works for me, and it's quite fast. I believe you can even configure your own, although it may involve editing the user.js file in your profile. You might find info here: http://www.vorstrasse91.com/moztips/ or here http://www.hmetzger.de/net6e.html I haven't looked real hard (as I said, Mozilla's search feature, using Google, works great for my purposes) for a user.js code for adding a default search engine. Stuff particular to Mozilla searching can be found here: http://www.vorstrasse91.com/moztips/sidebar_search_plugins.html (if you're interested in using Mozilla's Sidebar for searching -- not something that interests me) Or, you can create a bookmark keyword that points to the search engine you want... http://www.mozilla.org/docs/end-user/keywords.html HTH, Tim _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
