If you do not have separate partitions/mount points for /usr and /usr/local, shame on you, but...if you DO have /usr/local as its own mountpoint (do it, it is worth it) then simply move the netscape directory to /usr/local/lib/netscape and, hopefully, the other apps/thingies you mentioned are

You know, I haven't had any problems either installing a fresh 8.1 install or upgrading existing 8.0 systems. I've got 8.1 running on: - P100 64Mb RAM (no X -- just gateway box routing packets and it's just been a champ) [fresh install] - dual Celeron 600 384Mb RAM (main workstation that's got

Title: RE: [expert] Upgrade from 7.2 to 8.1 I, too, noticed that. My net server/dev box (p166 w/80MB) runs far faster with 7.2 than with 8.1. If I'm not running KDE or Gnome then things run better, especially if I'm running Blackbox. CPU usage is a lot higher when the machine
