Re: [expert] Netscape 6 -- Segmentation Fault
Dear friends: 1) My system is an AMD K6-2 400 with 128 megs of real RAM (and a 256 swap file on LM72). 2) I am using the new Netscape 6.01, which just came out a few days ago. This 6.01 version is based on the stable Mozilla .7, which came out in January, while Netscape 6.0, which came out in November, was based on the unstable Mozilla Milestone 17 of mid-September. In other words, three milestones separate Netscape 6.0 and 6.1, namely, Mozilla Milestone 17, 18 and Mozilla .6 and now Mozilla .7. You might wish to check out the new Netscape 6.01. I used Mozilla .7 for quite a while, and it was very stable (for many hours at a time) and reliable. Please try it and let me know if you have this same segmentation fault. I have this segmentation fault even when I use Netscape 6.01 ONLY (i.e. without Netscape 4.76). My thanks to all of you for your kind help.

Re: [expert] Netscape 6 -- Segmentation Fault
Not only that, Netscape 6 is very undependable. I've never had it working properly. i.e. I install it, it runs well the first time and then fails to function after that. There was an article on Slashdot about how bad it was not long ago. I recommend waiting until 6.1 (at least) comes out and in the meantime going with 4.76 or Konquerer.

[expert] Netscape 6 -- Segmentation Fault
Dear friends:
1) Installation:
I reinstalled Netscape 6.01 as ROOT, instead of user. I finally found
the netscape directory. See below. I was able to activate Netscape 6 and
launch it. However, since the initial launch, all I've been getting are
segmentation faults. Besides, I would like to run Netscape 6 as user,
NOT as root. I did a chmod 755 netscape in the /usr/local/netscape
directory and changed the ownership under Permissions (using Konqueror)
to "sher". Still, I couldn't launch Netscape 6. Same segmentation error.
[sher@sher sher]$ cd /usr/local/netscape

2) Plugins
However, I did manage briefly to see my plugins in Netscape 6 (by typing
about:plugins in the location bar). I saw ALL of my Netscape 4.76
plugins (which I had copied to /usr/local/netscape) EXCEPT for the
RealPlayer plugin.
Would appreciate any and all help.
Yours,
Benjamin
