There aren't any packages because Netscape isn't freeware. The generic solution to checksum problems is to delete the checksum file -- obviously, only use this when the "invalid checksum" error is itself in error. I think you can also then do a "make checksum" to make a new one but that isn't always necessary. > is there a hotkey combination that allows you to switch from XFree86 to > my bash sessions that i already had running? where is the best place to > look for some general how to use XFree86, i've had a bit of a look at > their home pages but can't find a general user type guide. You know how normally you switch vtys using ALT-Fn? To do so from within X, use CTRL-ALT-Fn. To go *back* to X you use the regular ALT-Fn. It sounds confusing but when you do it it'll make sense. > thanks in advance You're welcome. > andrew perry > andrew@shoal.net.au > Ben
