Are there any special considerations when installing debian (probably
potato) in a box with an Athlon 800 Mhz with 10,2 GB and a Matrox G400???
Hi,
I upgraded my unstable installation with dselect last night and
Netscape 4.7 has stopped working. The message is:
"Bus error"
and all I get is a lockfile in /home/.netscape and no GUI.
What might have caused this, and how can I fix it?
