I think you can try starting Eterm with various flags - like 'Eterm -t
and create your own .MAIN file for your own theme
cloned from another file - or just try another theme full stop.
The themes should be under /usr/X1186/share/Eterm/themes or something like
that.

Did you burn M8.2 on CD-RWs? I had a problem on an
old Tosh laptop where it wouldn't read CD-RWs - had to
reburn onto CD-Rs. I think Windows could read the
CD-RWs (I used it to create the boot floppy), but not
the LM install software - very odd.

The solution is quite simple really
In home directory select View and tick `show hidden files'.
Then create a fake directory called .netscape(don't forget the dot)
This is necessary because LM8.2 is not shipped with any netscape
