Netscape has been bought by AOL, and Netscape gave the source code to www.mozilla.org. Expect something from mozilla eventually. Go back to version 4.03. It seems quite solid for me. Maybe when SuSe 6 comes out the glibc version of Netscape 4.5 will work better. hope so. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <= A HREF=3D"http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/http://www.suse.com/Suppo= rt/Doku/FAQ/> and the archiv at htt= p://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html> --===============6309695986223008091==-- From mperry@basin.com Sun Jan 31 03:59:38 1999 From: mperry@basin.com To: users@lists.opensuse.org Subject: Re: [SuSE Linux] netscape craches Date: Sat, 30 Jan 1999 19:59:38 -0800 Message-ID: <199901310359.TAA00281@mperry.basin.com> In-Reply-To: <36B37C79.7487D395@mindspring.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="===============8370003775282486508==" --===============8370003775282486508== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable On 30 Jan, zentara wrote: >=20 > Ola Andersson wrote: >>=20 >> Grrrr.... >>=20 >> Darn netscape... >>=20 >> It craches sa soon it sees a java applet.

I've used just about every version of Netscape since 3.x, and never had any java problems. Did you make sure to set the MOZILLA_HOME whatchmacallit? I'm not in Linux right now, so I can't look the info up.

I've also noticed that the 2.2 kernel gives alot more messages on boot up about detecting and setting up my motherboard devices like PCI bridges. So I'm hoping that once the 2.2 kernel is perfected, alot of the "bus error" problems will dissappear. I think the reason their are so many different opinions on these "bus errors", is that it is motherboard related. Some work well, others don't. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <= A HREF=3D"http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/http://www.suse.com/Suppo= rt/Doku/FAQ/> and the archiv at htt= p://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html> --===============6239723789736998452==-- From mwagnon@ixpres.com Sun Jan 31 18:56:51 1999 From: mwagnon@ixpres.com To: users@lists.opensuse.org Subject: Re: [SuSE Linux] netscape craches Date: Sun, 31 Jan 1999 10:56:51 -0800 Message-ID: <36B4A773.24A9F421@ixpres.com> In-Reply-To: <36B47C3D.2C40EAD5@mindspring.com> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="===============8938406377006204964==" --===============8938406377006204964== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable zentara wrote: >=20 > Well I just downloaded the glibc version of 4.5 to test > when SuSE 6.0 arrives. >=20 > I've also noticed that the 2.2 kernel gives alot more > messages on boot up about detecting and setting up > my motherboard devices like PCI bridges.

I was playing with Debian earlier in the month and used the glibc version of 4.5, with mixed success. I experienced the same problems with SuSE 5.3 (it supports glibc binaries, right?). The problem was my Message Filters kept failing. The message mentioned something about a "child" (there were a few more adjectives, but I can't recall them right now.). I also completely lost my mail a couple times (a real bummer). I switched back to the libc5 version and all is well. Until you are satisfied that Netscape 4.5 (glibc) is behaving, I'd leave my mail on the server and pop it off with fetchmail.
