David,
Don't give up on netscape. If your using mandrake, click on the updates
icons and download all three parts of netscape 4.61 at the same time. It will
automatically install itself. I found that most of my problems with netscape
ended when I went to 4.61. I think you will find that not all web sites will
open with KDE's broswer. I look forward to seeing the browser improved with
the next reincarnation of mandrake.
