The drive needs reformatted and the whole thing needs reinstalled. Later in the week, maybe. We think it might have to do with the use of a new 1500 watt HF linear amplifier that was messing with several computers prior to some cable re-routing, best guess is that the filesystem got hosed during some disk writes because of the strong RF, a WinBlowz box shows similar symptoms. Note to softupdates maintainers: strong RF fields can create situations that softupdates cannot recover from :^) Anyhow, netscape-6.2 under -current has my seal of approval, with one caveat: make a backup of your bookmarks before installing, and put them back after installing! The install will clear your netscape-6.1 bookmarks! jim -- ET has one helluva sense of humor!
