Nothing Strange about that.
Did you make Netscape the Default Browser? I got win98 running with
No IE, First I installed win98(regular) using 98lite, then I ran ROM
II on it (revenge of mozilla II) The Bat launches urls for me in
netscape gold 3.01. I wont even run 4.7 of netscape let alone m$ie.
I can totally relate.
One thing that ROM II said was that you need to have netscape
installed and set as your default browser before you run ROM II.
And they say not to run it on an already loaded system, but I never
had a problem, I've only had to reinstall that media player thing so I
get the DirectX for "certain things." I am not sure which path you
followed to install 95b with no IE; that is the reason I
went with 98, I never found a tutorial on how to do it 100%.

I have the HTML switch turned off in the bat. On something like
Lockergnome, you can just check the headers, then run it in HTML. It's
pretty safe this way I'd say.

Run Netscape 3.01 on if you want my opinion. I
particularly like 3.01 or 3.04 because you can hack the resource files
and make the buttons and things go/do what you want.
Else Opera.... (hey they finally got that going in linux!!)

I wouldn't. It's more like a trojan horse. Plus your system wont be
as stable or lean.
