After much headache getting it downloaded, it finally downloaded and
installed but missed a package (I don't know which one).. the setup
process that followed was slow and annoying and isn't very navigable (you
get stuck on one page and you can't go back and fix mistakes). When you do
make a mistake and need to kill the process, there's no way of getting the
installation going again without redownloading everything (if there is a
way, then someone please tell me before I make one more attempt.. I've
looked all over).
I've found Mozilla and pre-releases of NS6 (and from what I actually have
seen of NS6 so far) to be slow. There's something java-driven about the
whole thing. Like, NS4 etc uses whatever it uses and it's fast. The
Netscape developers, in all honesty, suck. One 13-14MB binary with
everything included. One thing goes.. everything does (crash, freeze,
etc)... not to mention the bug or two in the mail and news section that
have existed in every version that I've ever used (bugs that are so
obvious and annoying, and ones that I'm sure everyone has). They're also
not easy to email in such a case.
Anyway.. where was I? Oh yeah.. I'm not having luck with the download and
installation:/
I wish there would be an alternative when it comes to web browsers. Like..
if Microsoft would cut the crap and do a nice port of Outlook Express and
IE.. I might actually be happy :)
