Install Mozilla, which is the modern-day Netscape and actually has a few things they've taken out of Netscape 7. The FreeBSD native version (/usr/ports/www/mozilla) will work (after a long compile). (It's been a while; if I'm not misremembering, the Linux-Mozilla version (/usr/ports/www/linux-mozilla) will also want those libraries, which are in linux_base (7)). After installing portupgrade, you can use pkgdb -F to tell it to use the linux_base-6 libraries instead, which are more compatible with Java.) -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
