Bernhard,
If you figure out a way around this please let me know. This past
weekend I spent some time (again) trying to do the same thing. The
font sizes don't even change no matter what you specify in Netscape.
Maybe we can edit the preferences file and save it there ourselves.

Thanks for all the comments so far. So far it looks like the way to
go is to install gnome and use Window Maker.
It would be nice if downloading gnome would suggest that Window Maker
or some other compatible Window manager. I attempted to use gnome,
then decided to download Window Maker.
Now I
I am tired of FVWM95 and its apparent limitations and lack of new
development so I am ready for a new window manager. Plus I wanna try
something new and maybe break my system :-)
I am currently downloading gnome as I type this. I considered KDE
and settled on gnome. I am getting it from ftp.
All this reminds me of my printer & Ethernet card woes during the
weekend. I decided that I was tired of using Linux with very limited
multimedia capabilities. It seemed to reinforce the notion my
Windows friends have that Linus is for servers not workstations.

I have another Linux threads question. Since POSIX threads are already built
into the libc6 in hamm, I assume that the standard C libraries are also
thread-safe. The guys who are developing on the Linux Debian systems that I

In addition to the GnuWin32 that others have shown you, you can also find a
tcsh.exe which runs on NT. That will save you from cmd.exe (aka DOS)
For when you have to use DOS, these settings will give you command name
completion like tab does in tcsh. I don't remember where I got the tcsh.exe
