Now, as to netscape, hmmm. Try this first--once you launch Kppp
and connect click the icon to bring up your /home/username directory in
kfm, and enter in the line that says file:/home/whatever a URL address,
say www.dogpile.com. Tell us what message kfm gives you, if
it does not go to the site. If you get the site, then
try downloading a good netscape through one of the L-M mirror sites
(give kfm the URL, raise another kfm window, and DRAG the file to your
home directory, the file manager will respond "copying") then reinstall.
To reinstall and avoid problems doing it, first log on as root and
drag the netscape downloads to root's home directory.
If the files have a .gz exttension on the filename, then raise a terminal and type
gunzip *.gz
go up one level with kfm, then back to your /root directory and the netscape files will be covered with red 'R' symbols click on 'common' and let Kpackage install it, then install Navigator and Communicator.
Now log on as an ordinary user and start Netscape. It should give
you some dialog about licenses and a couple of error screens informing
you that directoryies didn't exist and are being created. After that,
you should see a
"file" screen and be able to type URI/URL locators into the address
line. To set up mail, edit "preferences" and establish identity and
your mail servers.

like it to wait for me to respond.2- Now to biggie. I use Kde and want to use Netscape. I have gotten Kppp to
launch my isp (Earthlink.net) but I cant get on the net or get mail.
does any one have tutorial for configuring Netscape for Earthlink.net.This is my first experience with Linux. I'm using Mandrake. I've ordered
