SOLVED: Xwrapper & Netscape problems

1998-08-14 Thread Jeremiah Cornelius
Thanks to Patrick, and all for help here. In earlier debugging, I had inadvertantly deleted /etc/X11/X, and made this a symbolic link to the xserver (hard-linked to /usr/X11R6/bin/X). This is a good way to hose your setup with the wrapper! It's nice to see that Debian will just plain refuse to r

I'd try reinstalling X, then getting the Netscape installer deb package (there used to be one, you have to grab netscape off a Netscape site then install the .deb). You can reinstall packages by having the .deb file available (in the current working directory, or append the path to the file name)
