Travis, Thank you, thank you. I was hoping somebody would post idiot-friendly instructions. I followed your directions and VOILA!!! I have a pan installation that behaves itself. FWIW, Pan as it is packaged for Suse 11.2 displays multipart jpegs just fine. I was hoping Ubuntu would package a version in Lucid Lynx that would display multipart jpegs correctly. Maybe if the Ubuntu users on this list would post bug reports & comments in the forums, Lucid would be released with a better version. tim _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
