In text mode yes, but see above. It does actually work, but takes 5 minutes just to load, which makes it useless. > I have not been > able to get it to work in graphic mode but that is because it could not > find a svgalib driver.

You may have to edit the chipset setting for your video card in /etc/vga/libvga.config which is the configuration file for svgalib. As for X browsers on the target system, I think we can now safely say that mozilla and konqueror are out. I now have Opera on my test PC (P133 16mg ram) and it seems to run about the same as Netscape 4.73, although it segfaults when I try to access my Bank's online service. It doesn't do this with Debian (3.0, kernel 2.2.19) on the same box (but it runs a lot slower). Some of this javascript stuff can be a real can of worms. The only reason I keep Netscape on my main box is for my Bank. Howard E. To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
