Netscape 4.7-1.1 Bug:
If I load up netscape, load up mail reader, minimize
netscape, resize mail reader, every time I resize it, it
spawns a new netscape window. Regardless if the intial
netscape browser window is minimized or maximized after
that.
I am using a totally stock RH 6.1 install with

Indeed, good job.
However, the feed back I have been getting has been mostly negative.

Howdy All.

How do you do that? Just use the new packages to replace the old ones, then
burn them?
I am thinking about doing this. Also, might give away the old ones. :)

Well, an update to the broken installer is available.
However, I think this fix is terribly inconvenient. Not only do I need
TWO floppy disks in addition to the CD, but I also need to remember
special instructions for getting it to work properly.

Well it's about time for a positive note.

The install went flawless.

1) when you upgrade the packages that will be installed are marked
with a V in /red/. This is a _big_ UI design mistake.
When I first saw that, my reaction was: "hmmm, we have something
