[newbie] Netscape 4x on mdk 10
Hi all, I want to install Netscape 4.7 on my mdk 10.0 machine to be able to test whether websites still look good in old browsers. Will it mess up other browsers such as Mozilla? Is there a rpm that I can use for installation on mdk10.0?

Does anyone know what the CLI command is to launch netscape mail separately from Netscape - the web-browser? I'd liek to add it to my menus if possible. I'm currently using Netscape 7.1. TIA Lanman Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [newbie] Netscape Mail
OK Steve. My bad. Didn't think to Google my question first. Your idea worked. Did a search at Netscape and found the answer right away. The CLI command, by the way, is /usr/lib/netscape/netscape -mail , assuming that this is the location for Netscape on your PC, which it is for me. Worked like a charm. Created a menu entry and it's all good. That's 2 problems fixed this morning. Now, I gotta get a handle on my World Peace project ! Trying to get it done before lunch! Grin!

[newbie] Netscape Email print problem
I have been using Netscape for email for years (currently 4.78) and haven't had problems. Recently when trying to print an email where the body is HTML, only the header is printed.

On Friday January 10 2003 04:32 pm, ivette brusselmans wrote: Did this at least 10 times. Always get the same answer : download failed due to multiple CRC failures. What could be the cause? CRC (cylical redundancy checks) are used in data transmission to verify the data's integrity. CRC is used over d/l connections, but it is also used by other data tranmissions and devices, including hard drives. Western Digtal hard drives can't, and failing drives often don't perform proper CRC checks. Some motherboard chipsets with certain combinations of peripheals (AGP cards, high bandwidth PCI devices, eg, SB Live!), also occaisonally perform bad CRC checks. Cables that need replacing or re-seating can also cause CRC errors. So the problem could be many things, but most likely a bad file, bad d/l connection, or hardware problems. Try using a different d/l application than the one you've been using, specially if you were usin a browser, and specially if the browser was Nutsrcape. NS is infamous for corupting d/l's. IMO, the safest bet would be to use 'wget' or 'curl' from the command line in a terminal to get the file. If you still have a problem with the file, try tar'g or zip'n up the contents of a several hundred MB directory, creating the new archive on a different partition, and preferably to a partition on a different hard drive. This is easy to do with Archiver (ark). If the new archive will unpack and the files match your originals it's a good indication (but not proof) you aren't havin hardware problems. IE, the HDD's, the motherboard (chipsets and controllers), the cables will have done their job properly. -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Causes for this can range from bad CRC over your connection, bad read/writes to the disk you're downloading it to, corrupted file where you're getting it from - the list goes on. But what you might want to try is to download it to a different location than the one you're constantly downloading it to.

[newbie] Netscape 7 help, please
After a long struggle with Mozilla and much help off-list from Mark I installed Netscape 7. It found all my bookmarks etc and set up well, and all the navigation links and tabs on amazon.co.uk (the site that most suffered from my previous problem) were present and working. I even got RealPlayer plugged in - a new experience for me. Just one problem - I like side-bar navigation. I went in to customize side-bar, but the tabs from the Recommended section, i.e. Bookmarks, Search and History do not display in the sidebar. Does anyone know how to cure this? It's especially important for the search tab. Anne Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [newbie] Netscape 7 for linux
Main reason I prefer netscape 7 over mozilla is netscape mail. Mozilla mail will not work for netscape web mail period. You can put all the IMAP settings in manually but will error out every time. They intentionally must have set it up that way. I have 2 netscape webmail accounts that I rely on (one is for my resume and job postings) so I can't afford to be without it. And I hate having to go to netscape and log in to see my mail. Otherwise, I would use mozilla exclusively. Todd F.

Just curious, what is it you don't like about Mozilla? After all, NS is Moz in different clothes. The speed overall has improved heaps - especially under linux. The installation was straight forward and easy. Aside from the AIM/ICQ account crap, it was a brainless install. (I use GAIM instead of all that jazz, and KOPETE under KDE).

Re: [newbie] Netscape plugins
Do you have your path to Netscape 6 set up properly? From what I remember, Netscape 6 installs into a different location than Netscape 4.x did. I would double check on where it is located, then run the Crossover setup program, and under the General tab, change the location to where the Netscape 6 plugins folder is located. Also make sure you have write privileges in the plugins folder for Netscape.

[newbie] Netscape 6.2.3 and KDE desktop....
Hello Gurus; So; because of a suggestion posted on my local LUG (yeah yeah OK; GNU-LUG then Stallman :-)) mailing list, I recalled that I had intended to install the latest version of Nutscrape in order to compare the performance, appearance, functionality etc. with the latest Mozilla release candidate.

Re: [newbie] NETSCAPE BOOKMARKS / LM8.2
Hi! What format is the bookmarks.ldif file? I have Mozilla 0.9.9 and Netscape 4.something installed and they both use bookmarks.html. Where is it located? My Netscape bookmarks are in /home/myusername/.netscape/ and Konqueror has no problem importing it. It might also be that Konqueror expects to find a html file when importing bookmarks. Open the .ldif file with text editor and if it looks to be in text/html format, rename it to bookmarks.html and try importing it again. Konqueror uses XML-format in bookmark file and you can edit it with text editor. If your Netscape bookmark file isn't very large you could add the entries by hand from the ldif-file. Konqueror bookmarks are in: /home/yourusername/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/bookmarks.xml and this is an example of its contains: !DOCTYPE xbel xbel folded=no hide_nsbk=yes bookmark icon=folder href=http://www.google.com; titleGoogle/title /bookmark bookmark icon=folder href=http://images.google.com/; titleGoogle Image Search/title /bookmark /xbel --- Cheers J.

[newbie] Netscape New vs Old Comments and One Problem
Since I spent a few hours figuring out the following, I thought I would pass it on. If I am in error on any comments please correct me. I am really new at this Linux stuff. I have 2 verisons of Netscape on my Mandrake 7.0 system; the old 4.7 version, and the new 6.2 version which I just downloaded and installed. I can run either version depending on which user I login in as. If I login as root, I run version 6.2. If I login in as my wife, I run version 4.7. To get version 6.2 to execute after installing, I right clicked on the Netscape Ikon and chose properties. Then after choosing the Execute tab, I entered: /usr/local/netscape/netscape in the Execute window. From what I can figure out, I'm no expert in shell scripting, /usr/local/netscape/netscape is a script that in turn executes the script run-mozille.sh, that in turn executes the program mozilla-bin, which is the primary Netscape program. To run version 4.7, I login in as my wife. When I right click on the Netscape Ikon and choose properties, the name, netscape, appears in the execute window. So the program that execute version 4.7 is: /usr/bin/netscape. Please correct any of the above that is wrong. Comments on Version 6.2: My main reason for upgrading is there are several site that will not fully execute on the old version. The second reason is that under the View button you now can choose fonts, their sizes; you can also size text. Among other things you can select (themes) how the browser appears: Modern or Classic. I did not like the new (Modern) theme at all. You can also create your own theme, if you want to get into all that. But, at this point I know more than I ever wanted to know about Browsers :-). Problem with version 6.2: Every now and then, the problem is intermittent, I'll be in the Browser and it will just end. The browser and all browser windows just disappear. There are no other users logged in and no other applications running besides Netscape. It's very strange and it does not happen in 4.7. I do not see any core dumps in /root, /root/Desktop or /usr/local/netscape. I don't know if it a Netscape problem or a Linux compatibility problem or what. The Kernel i am running is 2.2.14-15mdksecure. Does anyone have any ideas as to what is going on? Thanks, John Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Is it worth the trouble? -- I'm developing a website and I'm just curious to see how it compares to the Netscape 4.xx that came with LM 8.0. I guess a big difference here is that my LM 8.1 also came with a recent version of Mozilla, which is basically equivalent, as far as I can see, to Netscape 6.2. I also set up Red Carpet, where the most recent releases of Mozilla keep appearing. After I began to notice that Mozilla and Netscape 6.2 were getting confused with each other, I got rid of Netscape and kept Mozilla, because I figured it would be easier to keep getting updates through Red Carpet. But to answer your original question, there is simply no comparison between Netscape 4.7 and 6.2. This has been especially true in my case, since I am working on the development of multilingual web-based XML Unicode dictionaries (see www.acmuller.net; if you want to dig into this deeply, you will need a password, so just write to me and I will give you one.). Netscape 6.2 (and of course, its Mozilla equivalent) handles UTF-8 and XML very well. Netscape 4.7 handles Unicode poorly, and does not recognize XML at all. Netscape 6.2 is easy to install, but as someone already suggested, it is better to locate and download the whole RPM file rather than try to use their installer app. Also, when Netscape 6.2 installs itself, it does not recognize itself as an upgrade of 4.7, and thus does not get rid of 4.7. I would therefore suggest that you uninstall 4.7 first. If you don't, when you set your HTML file associations to Netscape, it will continue to call 4.7 rather than 6.2.

Hi Mark, Now that's my kind of install! :) I've no intention of letting Netscape do the M$ thing. I'd rather not have it on my disk, thank-you very much!

After searching their Knowledge Base [should be called BugBase], I found the problem -- they admitted that the file had been infected -- nice touch, eh? Well, enough ranting about that has-been-on-my-computer OS.) Next question: how do I access their FTP server? Would you happen to have their ftp address? I plan to do it from Konqueror (I hope they don't mind too much :) Btw, I just have to tell someone -- I finally got Apache + PHP + Postgresql installed and running on my system!

Try /usr/local - that's where mine ended up. Installed so fast sounds suspicious though - normally a download instalation takes ages. As for browser wars - Netscape has two advantages - it's an integrated mail client and browser, and it's cross-platform (the latter being the main reason I use it - we only have one Linux box at work, so I'm often working from Windows). 6.2 is not perfect, but much less buggy than the appalling 6.0.

[newbie] netscape 6.2
Hi All, I've been lurking on the list for about a month now. Loaded LM7.2,8.0,8.1 to see how they work. Experiences mostly positive.

Mozilla is on the distro and updates are readily available from Freq and Cooker and is likely to be a more recent iteration of the gecko engine than Netscape.

Anyway, existing version not harmed, but no sign of vs. 6.1 Thanks. Pete R. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://.mandrakestore.com

You probably successfully installed both times It is loaded as a binary in some directory, likely /usr/bin, so scroll through that using the file manager untilo you find it (It won't be /usr/bin/netsacpe cause that's taken by 4.77) Once you have the executable in sight, then open up Mandrake Control Center and click on System - Menus - Configure System Menus. Add it using the directory path to the netscape6 executable as the Command line. Then Save and exit. Now you can use netscape. But, I must ask this. Why bother? Mozilla is on the distro and updates are readily available from Freq and Cooker and is likely to be a more recent iteration of the gecko engine than Netscape. What you get for using netscape is all the glitz and hype and popups and ways to expose your email to spammers that AOL can possibly think of. Plus of course you get the underlying Mozilla, probably not as recent as is available from other sources.
