Do you now see a file named "netscape.core" in the current directory? If you really did see NOTHING and Netscape didn't dump core, you have experienced a very strange phenomenon indeed. > 1. How do I install a netscape? Sounds like you may have successfully installed it already. You ARE running X11, are you not? As Netscape is a graphical program by nature, it requires a running X seat to function. If you installed XFree86 when you installed the operating system, startx should get you going. > 2.

Installation guide doesn't talk detailed enough to follow. If you installed the ports distribution with the operating system, installing an individual port is simple. If you have the -STABLE ports installed: # cd /usr/ports/www/netscape47-communicator && make all install Yes, you must do this as root. You may, however, RUN Netscape as a normal user after it has been installed. -- Ryan Thompson <ryan@sasknow.com> Systems Administrator, Accounts Phone: +1 (306) 664-1161 SaskNow Technologies http://www.sasknow.com #106-380 3120 8th St E Saskatoon, SK S7H 0W2 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
