Right now you most likely in 8 bit. try startx -- -bpp 16 (or 24) > 3) What (if anything) is the value of your MOZILLA_HOME environment > variable? where netscape was installed. I don't know where Debian installs netscape, but it probably has its own directory so it shouldn't be hard to find. Mine is set to /usr/local/netscape.. You'll want to add a line similar to 'export MOZILLA_HOME=/usr/local/netscape' in you /etc/profile file. -Paul -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
