I downloaded the beta version of the browser, and liked the new look &
feel. However, it said it had expired, and wouldn't allow me to link
anywhere but netscape to download the new version. I'd like netscape 4,
but I'd also like to avoid the 10 Mb download and especially the huge
expanse of disk

I have just compiled the 2.0.32 kernel with make-kpg but I get a final
error 'sync' not found.
I am using libc6...
I have searched my disk, and the latest Packages file and cannot

Here's a good one that wired did because of netscape, but went into the

included debian when refering to popular linux distributions.

Although I set permissions for the one user (me) with
