[newbie] bus errors in netscape

1999-05-18 Thread Hidong Kim
Hi, Lately, netscape has been crashing on my linux machine: p166mmx, 64 mb ram, mandrake 5.3, kernel 2.2.6, netscape communicator 4.08 (the one that comes with mandrake 5.3). It dies with a "bus error" message in the xterm from which it was launched. What is this bus error? Thanks, Hidong

I guess its time to tackle my first problem. I have to boot from a floppy. I used a separate, spare HDD to load with Linux Mandrake 5.3. I created the boot floppy at install time. I think I am running into the 1024 Cylinder problem. On this 540+MB HD I made one big partition, about 490 M
