When I unzipped the archive I merged the boot and system. I also noticed a folder called stubs. I'm not clear whether its contents are used by the boot and/or system during merging or if its contents must now remain in situ. My reasoning being that if the merging leaves an instruction as to where stubs can be found, if I now delete the unzipped archive containing stubs I'll just create another problem. -- BW Chris F.

I'm always happy to ignore stuff I don't understand but unhappy when a problem arises after I threw it away because I didn't understand its importance. I'm about to assume that, in this case, 'ignore' means the same as 'delete'? Thanks John. -- BW Chris F.

To install Iconv, you just need to follow the simple installation instructions given on http://www.netsurf-browser.org/projects/iconv/ There are just two steps. To quote from the web page: Installation You must follow these two steps carefully or installation will fail: 1. Merge !System directory Use the System merge utility provided by Configure to merge the supplied !System directory with the one on your system. 2. Merge !Boot directory Use the Boot merge facility in Configure to merge the supplied !Boot directory with the one on your system. If there is no Boot merge facility provided on your system, simply drag the supplied !Boot directory over your existing boot structure. That is all. Do that, and Iconv is correctly installed. Hope that helps. -- Michael Drake (tlsa) http://www.netsurf-browser.org/
