Debian, xfree86 and netscape...
Sorry all, if this is too far off topic... I've got debian 1.3 up and running on my amd 586, can get thru to my isp via minicom and on the 'net with lynx. I just got netscape ver 3.04 installed, but I've missed something.. I startx, connect to my isp using minicom, but can't get netscape to connect. Is this a ppp issue, or as usual, something simple I've overlooked? Any suggestions out there? -- Steve Morrill Reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Pub key id: 0xF2459FCD Debian LINUX Where I really want to go today! -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

In that case, OF COURSE netscape won't connect - there's no way for it to connect. I assume that the lynx you're using isn't running on your machine, but instead on your ISP's machine. If so, there's no reason to expect that you'd be able to use netscape; you don't have any kind of TCP/IP connection to the net. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Doh!! Of course you're right...(that large whooshing sound you heard must have been my brain fart) Guess I'll keep thrashing at this one. I can get ppp going but can't seem to get netscape to connect. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated -- Steve Morrill Reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Pub key id: 0xF2459FCD Debian LINUX Where I really want to go today! -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
