A few questions

Hi 1: If I use 24 bpp then Netscape doesn't look very nice and if I run 8 bpp idl, gimp and glade are not optimal. Is there a way to use 24 bpp with Netscape - also the fvwm95 icons looks starnge if I use 24 bpp. 2: Can Netscape 4.5 under Windows and Linux share address book and e-mail folders et

how to install slink netscape?

I am really confused and I feel like I shouldn't be. I recently upgraded to slink so I figured I would go from the old netscape deb package (netscape4) to the new format (netscape-base-45b2). So I ended up removing netscape4 (since it conflicts with the new netscape package) and installing netsca

Re: xfstt + xset

Use "ps aux" to check that xfstt is actually running. I've encountered a wierd problem today that xfstt by itself works, but xfstt --daemon does not. Very strange - it worked yesterday. I don't think I've changed anything important. Anyone got a similar problem ? Sergey. On 3 Nov 1998, Gossamer w
