Hmmm, I usually end up with 32...
I got tired of it and set up a cron job using webmin which runs
~/.netscrape once a day, And ~/.netscrape is as follows:
#!/bin/sh
rm -R -f ~/.netscape/cache
As to the mysteries of netscape and its behaviors, please
reference the netscape source which can always be found in
/dev/null. I am developing a neat set of netscape questions....
Why does the cache make subdirectories to evade the 5Mb cache
limit I set?
Why does netscape java perform OK if I load 100dpi fonts and
crash frequently otherwise?
Why do I have to find netscape info at www.mandrakeuser.org
instead of home.netscape.com -- font deuglification and toolbar
changes are all at MUO--what kind of inside track does Tom Berger
have?
How did AOL manage to make a slower, uglier, more disgusting
thing of netscape with version 6?
Well, I do wish you luck. I must say that while it may be beta,
Konqueror dances circles around Netscape even the Windows
version.
