hi all (cont)

been playing with booting into Netscape et al tonight, works ok although you 
can do some hacks slightly differently to the Public-Web-Browser mini-HOWTO:-

- run netscape direct from the shell, so you get nsmail directory set up, 
prior to setting .xsession to get it into Netscape every time. 
- the howto gives instructions for xdm, i think that kdm and gdm work the 
same way sort of in getting it to boot
- i'm writing a script to automatically preload the netscape settings 
(email/cache etc for each account).
