Being a new to Linux and KDE2 I hope that I can find help in this forum:
I have problems getting Netscape working, with the preferences set-up in
particular.
Whenever I click on an input box, Netscape closes immedeatly, same
happens in many
other taks ( entering an url address etc. ).

Any idea ?

Just one, skip netscape, its allways been a royal pain in the rear end.

Use Konqueror instead or maybe you want to try out the new Opera-5b6:
<URL: http://www.opera.com/download/linux.html>
The statically linked version seems to be very stable.

Another webbrowser is mozilla, netscape version 6 is based on this
browser.

There is one huge difference between Opera and Mozilla: Opera is a very
efficient user of system resources ("small footprint"), and Mozilla is
still a monster. ie. if you don't have stacks of ram, go for Opera. It is a
beauty. And the latest version is free, just like the others. It does come
with a window ad, though. This can be removed with a payment for rego. But
for me, the ad is bearable. It is now one of top browsers on Linux as well
as Windows.
