We had two students here that did some netscape surfing for two weeks and they got regular sig 11's (2-3 times a day) on a machine that I am pretty sure that does not have harware problem (it does make worlds without problem and is our regular server). > Just last night, I was using Netscape, and the system froze completely.. > I could move the mouse pointer, but I couldn't click on anything. > CTRL-ALT-Backspace and CTRL-ALT-Delete wouldn't work...

I found that the there is some problem between netscape and fvwm (the window manager that I use) which result in keyboard that does not work and focus that does not want to change. Restarting fvwm from the menus fix that. John -- John Hay -- John.Hay@mikom.csir.co.za
