Java SUCKS!!
Has anyone else had this kind of problem? If I spend more than a few minutes on a site with Netscape that is java enabled or select more than a few java supported actions then java seems to go into an "endless loop mode" accessing the hard drive and tying up the cpu to the extent that virtually nothing else can be done. If the mouse cursor is in the upper left corner and I try to move it to the bottom right corner to change virtual desktops to use the kill command in a bash window, it can take over a half an hour because the cursor only moves about a half inch every 90 seconds or so! Quiting Netscape is the only way to get it to stop short of hitting the reset button. I have installed RH 6.2 from CD and selected everything I wanted and didn't need to reconfigure/compile the kernel. Even the display setup for X was correct. Netscape works fine until accessing a java enabled site. I've spent hours reading the faq's and tips at netscape.com/support/ and have tried several fixes/tips with no joy. :-( Can anyone help with this java malady? My poor hard drive can't take much more. -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.

Happens a lot to a lot of people, me included. Solutions: quit netscape and use something else(slim pickins out there right now) or turn off java (lose access to some stuff). Opera is on the horizon. Not ready for prime time yet, though. Lynx and a couple of others if you don't need graphical. Mozilla (bloated with lots of debug stuff for now - as large as/larger than the NS 6.0 release). Seemed to be stable. Can't vouch for that as I gave up the NS Communicator stuff due to too much bloat - the Mozilla debug stuff made it take even longer to load. Amaya, Mosaic, Python, Skate, Grail and othes - all unfinished works, as well as unstable and likely to never see anything that resembles completion. --- Press every key to continue. -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.

I have the similar problem, although it is not as bad as what the previous gentleman encounters (my netscape will tie up cpu for 3 or 4 minutes from time to time, but not half an hour really). However, turning off java or javascript won't help me at all. any other solutions for this netscape madness? -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
Re: Java SUCKS!!
I've seen worse. I know of one site that if I visit it with Java enabled Netscape will crash. From what I've heard these problems are caused by the JVM in NS not being kept current. I've also visited sites that make heavy use of Java without any problem. Jerry Human wrote: Has anyone else had this kind of problem?

I get what the original writer wrote on occasion, as well as the temporary lockups. This with both java and javascript off. I just get a little fewer of both this way. --- Is this my stop? -- To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
