John-- On Brian's advice, I went last night to /pub/communicator/4.6 /english/unix/unsupported/linux20_glibc2/complete_install. First, I downloaded the README & checked it out. Then, as root, I started downloading communicator-v46-export.x86-unknown-linuxlibc.2.0.tar.gz into /tmp. For 3 hours it happily strung #####'s across the screen, until, suddenly, it stopped. On another console I checked my connection. Terminated. I went to /tmp, and the found file there (or at least part of it). Just to see what would happen, I tried to unzip it. The message read: "No space left on device." Sheesh. My root partition is 40 megs. Am I using the wrong /tmp? How big is this file, anyway? It says 15M. -- Max P.S. Does netscape require X11? ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it.
