Ack again!!! Missed the fact that the netscape-base-4_14 in unstable depends on libc6(>=2.1). I have a copy built against lib6(<2.1) at http://widget.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis/netscape-base-4_14-i386.deb. So install the liburi-perl and libwww-perl and this netscape-base-4 package all at once and then proceed with the rest. That *should* do it, -- Brian --------------------------------------------------------------------- Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis ---------------------------------------------------------------------
