Hi,
I have RedHat 5.0 and tried to install Netscape from another CD using RPM.
I got failed dependencies. I check and everything Netscape depends are all
there. So I used --nodeps to install. Netscape is now functional except
all icons in the windows are black and red in colour. So sometimes you have
everything required but rpm reports failed dependencies. Only sometimes.
By the way, is that what Netscape supposed to be with black and red icons?
