hi

 the reason that netscrape does not load some pics and also some links on
the cd seem to be broken is that they must write the cd with a windows
setup ie without the rockridge extension turned on, the files and links are
there, but because linux is case sensitive because it is looking for a
Pic.GIF instead of pic.gif on the cd

try mounting the cd with mount -ro check=r /mnt/cdrom  and see if that
works

cheers
