It takes several minutes to load and but works after that. It does not display pages the same as Mozilla or IE, but it is a reasonable representation. Since I don't have any other X11 browsers installed I don't have anything to compare it to. The package I have is a single 2.1MB file and it only uses libpng, libtiff and libjpeg to render graphics. I think libtiff may be optional. If anyone wants a quick look there is a Slack 7.1 package on the Deli Linux Site, you also need the piclib.tgz from the same site ( ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/delilinux/ ). -- Rob Steinmetz To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
