"Nslookup" wasn't familiar from my investigation of Netscape
Navigator. From where do I run this command?

This should be obvious once I know where I'm running the command
from.

Domain Name Server?

To do this, do I need to open a Konsole in root?

There is one other concern, which is the drive, chugging away.
After using KFM on line for several hours last night, the system
hung up completely with the drive making that sound and the red
light on and the keyboard dead. Could not even CTR ALT BCSPC, I
had to push the little button under the red light.
I don't know what the cause is, but the result is the drive goes
into over-drive and freezes the system. I suspect this is what's
happening with Netscape as well, though why it doesn't happen with
KFM, I don't know. It did, though, eventually. After the reboot it
seems to working okay, for now.
Another symptom is slow paint. Saw some of that last night,
before it hung. Slower than normal, I mean.
