[SuSE Linux] Netscape 4.5 Buss Error???
by gdoris＠shaw.wave.ca 08 Feb '99

08 Feb '99

All of a sudden I've started getting a "bus error" when using Netscape 4.5. Netscape suddenly terminates and the message is left in the xterm window. Is there a fix for this? Would switching to 4.08 take care of the problem?

[SuSE Linux] Final: Advice on Applixware 4.4.1 and SuSE 5.3
by Martijn.van.den.Burg＠asml.nl 08 Feb '99

Hi, Sorry for having posted this query twice - it won't happen again (I hope :-). I bought SO99 (local SuSE rep), installed it and it runs very well. I don't make 'difficult' docs in Word 97 (that's not what it's for), so no problems, and import from Excel works well. I no longer need SO4 that came with the Caldera 1.2 CD :-)) Thanks everybody for your response to my query!
