The original Netscape source doesn't include Java, and requires Motif. The new Mozilla project is allegedly coming along well and usually builds. It's a lot to build, and it's a development browser - meaning it's little more than a rendering engine at this point. If someone could advise on the best way of getting old aout X libraries onto an ELF system, I'd like to hear it. I'm currently browsing with grail, which isn't too bad. I like that it handles my existing Netscape bookmarks, actually. -danny -danny -- dannyman - http://www.dannyland.org/~dannyman/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
