I had that problem on my Libranet box (which is basically Debian), and a couple of other people on Libranet mailing list came across it as well.I'm not sure what is the source of this problem, but I can offer you a solution that worked for us. It isn't necessary to uninstall anything - just run, as root: "dpkg-reconfigure -pmedium mozilla-browser" --------------------------------------------------------------------- "Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one." -- A.J Liebling, media critic -- 12:52:07 up 8 days, 5:13, 1 user, load average: 0.02, 0.07, 0.02-- -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
