Getting really annoying.

I am running RedHat 4.2 on a 60MHz pentium...  Don't understand.

To all having problems with netscape--the libraries have to be linked to
different version and other problems.  I would try NCSA Mosaic.  They
invented the web anyways.

Sorry about my previous message, I made a mistake... I did write something
however, I'll try to reproduce it. The bus-errors can (may) be solved by
starting netscape with an older library, check out:
 http://members.ping.at/theofilu/netscape.html
it worked for me... I have had no bus-errors after I applied this fix
(workaround). The colorproblem is solved by startig x with 16 bits colors,
alternatively you can try netscape -install, letting it use its own
colormap. I think someone mentioned some -visual options... not sure about
that.

Good luck,

Anne
