Whatever the filename is when your PowerMac has downloaded it, copy it into the '/tmp' directory on your Debian machine, and then rename that file to the appropriate name as indicated above... i.e. mv /tmp/netscape-v301-export-x86-unknow /tmp/netscape-v301-export-x86-unknown-li nux-elf-tar.gz And then re-install the netscape package. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
