Netscape7 actually uses > the ~/.mozilla directory to store the profile, not /compat/linux. It Perhaps I wasn't quite precise: Because Netscape is running in Linux emulation it "thinks" your home directory is in /compat/linux/usr/home/your_homedir and wants to place ~/.mozilla there, but it can't because your_homedir is in /usr/home/your_homedir So you can # ln -s /usr/home/your_homedir /compat/linux/usr/home/your_homedir Uli. > looks like it won't just open up another window.
