Re: [newbie] Problems w/Netscape 4.73 & Mandrake Updater
Hi Cindy -- When you go into the ftp site looking for updates make sure that you go to the update folder in Mandrake 7.1 -- you will find the Netscape 4.74 there (and yes, it does exist ). I personally use ftp://ftp.wtfo.com/pub/linux/mandrake -- but that is because I am on the West Coast. As far as a better browser in Linux, so far Netscape seems the most stable to me. Again, personally, I never cared for IE even when I was a windoze user -- always used Netscape there too.

[newbie] Problems w/Netscape 4.73 & Mandrake Updater
Netscape 4.73 seems unable to load several java pages that are favorites around my house, such as a couple of the games at Yahoo. The Mandrake Update feature gives me a list of all the things it can get for me, among which is Netscape 4.74, but every time I try to get it I get an error ('error fetching'). The weird part is that I ftp'ed to half a dozen mirror sites, including ones listed by the Updater, and can't find any 4.74 at all. All the Netscapes available for download are 4.73. Does anyone know if this 4.74 really exists? Is the Mandrake Updater generally kinda flaky, or is it a local problem? While I'm at it, does anyone know of a better browser? As someone who's accustomed to IE, Netscape is a real disappointment. CindyB
