For the record, I am coding a personal website, the output from which I need to view/test using netscape (and other browsers). I also need to view manuals and such in HTML format. My computer is offline, and although it could be argued that being logged in as root can be dangerous at any time, I am well aware of the risks, and find that they are outweighed by the convenience of unrestricted access. (NB I would not adopt this attitude on anyone else's computer/network...) The 'holier than thou' attitude of the person who posted the above is disappointing, especially since he is apparrently quite knowledgable and could have just answered my question. The annoying thing to me about this thread is that it really only needed to contain 2 or 3 messages, my original question and the replies which addressed (and solved... thanks guys!) the problem.
