Hi,
I had this problem a while ago too. As far as I remember I posted an
answer to your question. Look in the archives of last month for a thread
'NEWBIE: bootdisk for powermac'. I have the OF parms at home, I do not

Hi all,
I just tried to upgrade from mozilla 0.7 to mozilla 0.8 (from the tar.gz

in the top right pane (which lists all the emails in a folder),

Is it broken ???
