I get the same thing with Atlas, exiting on signal 8. For me, I'm guessing its the 8meg ram I have. Then again, it is a Preview release and bound to have some problems. Have you tried the 1.2 version? Its much smaller. I usually restart netscape and hit the home button as soon as the window fills in (netscape voodoo). Usually after three or four tries it becomes stable. Once it is stable it holds up well to intense surfing. > > thanks, > > dimitri > Barry Masterson jbarrm@panix.com >--->--->--->--->---> FreeBSD 2.1.0-R <---<---<---<---<---<
