Netscape3.0 'ERASER' ?
I started updating my old netscape3.0b5 today with the 3.0 linux-elf binary released recently on their FTP server. Relaying on my experience with earlier versions I proceeded with the update assuming that netscape WILL INCORPORATE MY OLD BOOKMARKS into the new configuration. In vain! It deleted the bookmarks.html file completely... O.K. I made yesterday the obligatory full system backup, so I didn't scream vor vengence, but it was embarassing, isn't it? Could it be the Debian netscape installation package netscape_3.0.deb that wiped out something? (I don't thing so) ? Any way! You users/developers out there in DEBIAN Land and beyound might consider it paying more attention to this toy when upgradeing. :-( PS: Lets find the backup tape now... regards, Stoyan -- Stoyan Kenderov/ NTG Netzwerk und Telematic GmbH \/ phone: +49 721 9652 220 Geschaeftsbereich/\ LINK fax: +49 721 9652 210 Vincenz-Priessnitz-Str. 3 /___ email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] D-76131 Karlsruhe, Germany http://www.xlink.net/~kenderov PGP Key fingerprint = 72 EC 34 1F BC 74 89 BA FF 74 29 85 40 6B 5C F9
