Geoff, Actually, I usually use konqueror in KDE2 if I'm running X at all. It has a smaller memory footprint than Netscape, seems more stable, and works perfectly as a local file viewer too. I only use netscape if I need to see something that uses javascript. (I don't want to turn on javascript in Konqueror.) And that's not that often. So when I do use netscape, I use the Linux version because there are things like the flash plugin available. I end up using lynx from the console pretty often too. It's great that the Freebsd website is so useable from lynx. Tim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
