Seve Wrapped around istelf shortly after initialization with a window leak VEry slow to resize windows but will take fonts readily Makes the linux-mandrake page look ugly and muddy till you override their OCR-B-like fonts I have a marginal computer to use it on to exacerbate problems. DOES NOT (thank whoever--prolly the Mozilla team) use glibc2.0 Yay Has a sidebar I hate Has a non-functional link to AOL Instant messenger (Whp!_) Has a channel thingie you can click (I didn't) Has a shopping thingie that is probably as brain-dead as the channel thingie. Overall I hated it, but I like it a lot better than 4.70-4.72 and after the initial window leak has given no trouble. I can run StarOffice at the same time on a slow 64M memory machine without getting a disk-whacking virtual lockup. Civileme P. S. Will have to rewrite my script, but maybe I won't need it. This one seems meek after twisting the tail of a wild boar for 2 years.

Netscape) site. ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub, etc which you can find at www.netscape.com. The only problem is the "slashdot effect" ... Many many downloads going and connection reset by peer. I cured that with Web DOwnloader for X which you can find at www.krasu.ru/soft/chuchelo And I hammered away for an hour over a DSL connection to bring in the 10Mb or so (Mozilla M14 was only 6 , the other 4 must be Shopping, Channels, sidebar, and AOL IM Chat). They managed to slow M14 considerably by adding a newsfeed in the sidebar which I collapsed without being able to kill the newsfeed. CIvileme

CIvileme Sounds like I need M14 if it's stable enough for a newbie to use! Maybe the fonts are better than Net 4.7 which I use now.
