My story: wanted Mozilla on a 3400 with 80 MB Ram, but need min. 8.6. Installed latter but using a copy of a System folder from 8.5.1 from a 6100 (desktop). Added the 8.6 upgrade, but had to add one-by-one the 8.1 extensions, etc. to use location manager, etc. Now Mozilla works, but the memory problems (fragmentation) are awesome - even using the defrag freeware ultility. Back to 8.1 and Communicator 4.6 - works very stable, no memory problems. Adding more memory - I don't think that's the answer. The original System SW with the 3400/180 Mhz was 7.x! Best Wishes for the Christmas celebration to all! George
