Hi All, Iam a user of Netscape on Linux and had not experienced any problems other than my video card not supporting enought colours. My kernel is RedHat 1.2.8 and Netscae 2.01. I had to update my ld.so file as indicated below by David Segall. > You need to update your ld.so. I replaced mine with one from the RedHat site ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat-2.1/i386/updates/RPMS/ld.so-1.7.11-1.i386..rpm. This fixed the problem. I imagine that this is no longer the latest version but I am sure that any later version will fix your problem. Regards, David. David Segall davidsegall@acslink.net.au > Apart from this, the main problem experienced by most users is that there video card is less than adequate. My S3 card has some small limitations (ie: 8 bit colour) so yours could be also restricted. Additionally, I found that once I updated all the RedHat Errate files all was well and has continued to be since April 8th. Hope this helps, Cheers Grahame
