If you type "netscape" in a console window as root, you will get the explanation: Netscape is not allowed to be run as root for security reasons. If you absolutely want to run netscape as root, you can edit the startup script for netscape. I don't know where it lies, but you can follow the symlinks from /usr/X11R6/bin/netscape until you find the script. In this script, change the line allow_root from "no" to "yes". Hope this helps, sorry I'm not using my Debian box to read and write to this list, but a SUN-workstation at univerity, so I cannot look for the file names right now :-( joerg -- Did you know that if you play a Windows 2000 cd backwards, you will hear the voice of Satan? That's nothing! If you play it forward, it'll install Windows 2000.
