I am using Plugger to view PNGs. It also plays audio files, shows mpegs, and plays mp3s along with several other things. If you don't want all that, then maybe there is a PNG plugin -- I don't know. david. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

I'm sorry to say, but 4.73 isn't that much better. There are some serious bugs in netscape and we can't do much as there's no source code. But we try to work around those bugs.

Why am I not surprise that Netscape 4.X is horribly buggy. If only the 3.X series support HTML 4.0 and the newer Java script, I will revert back to it any day. Anyway, I find that as long as I have Java (why do they keep on insisting to implement their own version of Java?) turned off, Netscape is relatively stable. Back to the thread at hand though, why was the original poster not able to view PNG's with the version of Communicator shipped with 6.4? Communicator clearly support that. Does it use libpng? Maybe that is the problem if the poster did not have it installed. While I have you here, I would like to thank you guys for a wonderful distro! I switched over from Redhat when SuSE 6.0 came out and have never looked back. My only wish is that you include more Window Maker dock apps. They are easy to find on the Net but including them will be good for people trying it out for the first time. See you guys at the Linux Business Expo in Toronto.

This is really strange... I can browse to a local PNG file and view it in Netscape (4.72 or 4.73).

Doesn't support PNG?? I use PNG images on my website and they are correctly displayed by Netscape 4.72 (SuSE package).

Hello! I have SuSE 6.2, and have downloaded Netscape 4.72 from the original site (netscape.com), and it supports PNG pretty well. Maybe that's trouble of either your system installation, or 6.4 packagers. Thanks, George. On Tue, 20 Jun 2000, Philipp Thomas wrote:

You are probably using plugger. type 'about:plugins' in Netscape (needs javascript), and you should see that plugger handles PNG. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

Not embedded in a page, anyway.

Part of the problem would appear to be a significant space crunch. 6.3/6.4 have *minimum* installs running well over 600 Megs. To squeeze 6.4 into the space you evidently have available (and still have room for actual apps) would require some really ruthless package pruning in the initial install phase. Plain upgrade just won't do it. Plus moving from the 2.0.x to the 2.2.x kernels is/was frequently a dicey and frustrating process via upgrade. So for both those reasons you'd be better off with backing up and installing cleanly. (A good 2 Gig drive added prior to the "installing cleanly" part certainly wouldn't hurt either...) --Kevin On Thu, 22 Jun 2000, Mike Kenzie wrote:
