Netscape 4.5 refuses to work!!
Hi! I have installed Debian 'slink' distribution, with kernel 2.2.5, XFree86 3.3.6 (special for 'slink'), KDE 1.1.2 (default window manager) and Netscape 4.5 for 'slink'. When I'm browsing for a long time (about 2 hours), the browser refuses to work: I write an address in the URL bar, but this it's ignored: a blank page is displayed. I have increased the swap partition up to 32 MB (formerly it was 16 MB) and the problem persists. I use the 'kppp' program (of KDE) to establish an Internet connection and launch Netscape. What's wrong?Also, How I can install Netscape 4.72 (without upgrading to 'potato')? Can I install Netscape 4.72 from 'potato', installing libc6 2.1 only in 'slink'? Please, sendyour reply at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks very much in advance!!

Re: xfree.
One question: I have problems with Netscape Communicator 4.5. When I'm browsing for a long time (open many pages, and download some files) the browser ignore my clicks! If I write an URL in the location bar, this is ignored. May be a memory problem? Also, when I'm editing preferences, occasionally the browser closes itself. I use KDE 1.1.2 as window manager, and kernel 2.2.5. I have 64 MB of RAM and 24 MB of swap. Does KDE consume too much memory? Where can I find Netscape 4.6 or better for slink? (I have found this versions only for potato distribution). If you don't know this, please, contact with other users and tell me a solution. I'm desperate! I have to browse the web with KFM or Lynx!! Thanks very much. ponghy ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

3 Questions ONLY.
1: When I connect to the Internet in Linux, 'xconsole' shows the following message: ppp-compress-1 module not found I have compiled and installed Kernel 2.2.5 for Linux (Debian 'slink'). The PPP driver was compiled as a module. Is this correct? 2: I'm using Netscape Communicator 4.6 (downloaded from the STORM distribution), and I have memory problems: I have 64 MB RAM and 40 MB swap space on '/dev/hda3'. When Netscape locks, and I reopen it, the swap space is liberated only If I restart X entirely. Why? Is there any way to do this manually? I use version 4.6, because 4.5 issues too many problems (almost memory problems). 4.6 from STORM is more stable than Debian's. Do you? Note that I use KDE 1.1.2 as window manager (bites memory). 3: I'm using Kernel 2.2.5, because I have a SoundBlaster 64 PCI soundcard. I have enabled the sound support and driver in the kernel directly, and I have made the devices 'audio*' 'dsp*' 'mixer*' and 'sequencer*, and 'midi*'. I have no MIDI support. Why? May Kernel 2.2.5 issues problems? I have read that 2.2.x are dangerous for some systems. Reply to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks, very much for your support.
Problems with PPP
When I connect to the Internet, 'xconsole' shows the following: 'ppp-compress-1' unable to locate module I'm using Kernel 2.2.5, and I compiled PPP support as a module. Is this correct? If not, how can I to workaround this? Please, reply to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks.
3 questions. Please, HELP ME!
Hi! I'm a Debian Linux 2.1 'slink' user, and I have 3 questions: 1. I have compiled the version 2.2.4-intl of Linux Kernel and, at boot time, my screen shows the following message: SIOCADDRT: Invalid argument I have read the documentation, and says that is a bug in pppd versions 2.2.0 and earlier. I have currently installed pppd v2.3 patch level 5. Why does occur this? How can I patch the kernel? 2. My distribution doesn't make some device files, such as /dev/modem, /dev/audio, /dev/mixer, /dev/sndstat (I cannot use my SoundBlaster PCI 64, and I use my modem with device file /dev/ttyS1 directly). How can I workaround this? 3. I have the defrag utility. How can I defragment my Linux partition, since a mounted drive cannot be defragmented? Please, send your reply at [EMAIL PROTECTED], as soon as possible. Thanks very much for your support!!
