Personally, Communicator 4.5 used to crash in my system with glibc2, and keeps crashing now after a glibc2.1 upgrade. Will Navigator prove more stable than Communicator (I don't need anything but the browser... when not on Lynx, of course). BTW, it crashes ALWAYS that I try to click on a (guess javascript) form. > I dislike Netscape more and more with each new version. I am using 4.7 > with Potato and find it unstable.

Honestly, many times I could do nothing if I didn't have Lynx. I've even tried StarOffice5.1 as a browser! > If 4.06 works OK for you and is relatively stable, keep it.

I don't know of it but for the debian packages. -- Horacio Anno MMDCCLII ad Urbe condita [EMAIL PROTECTED] Valencia - ESPAÑA -------------------------------------------------------------------- Key fingerprint = F4EE AE5E 2F01 0DB3 62F2 A9F4 AD31 7093 4233 7AE6
