It even almost works. ;^) Pages and pages of errors with missing locale C and Xkeysym when I start netscape. I fixed that a few months back on my i86 machines and will have to compare my X install. It does segfault bus error when I try to go to a link. AFAIK that could be my raw X install, netscape or even fvwm2. Can I ask what libstdc++ version and what netscape version you are using? 349548 Aug 6 1998 libstdc++.so.2.8.0 netscape 4.08 mklinux Thanks, cfm -- Christopher F.
