Bill,
Thanks very much for suggesting Netscape 4.73 128bit. Since installing Netscape, I've
taken some time in trying to repeat the
problem and wasn't able to. I remember ld-linux.so.2 being a problem in my early days
of trying Linux and just forgot about it.
Would you happen to know why ld-linux.so.2 causes that problem? And, how is
ld-linux.so.2 related to the function of Netscape? And
why doesn't the 128bit version have the problem?
Again, many thanks! You wouldn't believe how much time this problem has wasted over
the last few months.
Best Regards,
Seve
