Thanks in advance.

Perhaps Netscape says somewhere that you have to be online; if so, I missed it. =20 Bill Madsen -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e --===============8951283043516310258==-- From andyford@fastrans.net Wed Apr 8 16:08:41 1998 From: andyford@fastrans.net To: users@lists.opensuse.org Subject: Re: [S.u.S.E.
