Except for menus not displaying properly, it works fine here, too. I just installed it from ports after commenting out the broken line and changing the depends to linux_base-7. The menu is usable but not exactly intuitive.:-) ed P.S. It seems to have screwed up my bookmarks but didn't actually erase them I have to look at that a bit closer. All I did was check them and they we were not there and then do a tail on bookmarks.html and the last one was there but not visible to netscape, so I copied it quickly but still haven't tried to figure it if I lost them or not but I think not.
