Re: [Alug] Netscape 6
by David Freeman 21 Nov '00

I had a problem with my old suse install where it took weeks to boot up and do anything graphical. The fix was to recompile the kernel minus the bits I didn't need. I am currently runnning a AMD K6 200 with 32mb RAM and KDE runs fine. I have had every thing removed from the kernel bar what is needed to boot up and the rest is put in as modules, makes a lot of difference to the speed.

Netscape 6
by Deana 20 Nov '00

20 Nov '00

Hello all. I have Netscape 6, and even though I knew it would be buggy it was hardly worth the download. Mozilla M18 is very stable (if lacking in plugin support), but for some reason passing the mouse over animations on certain sites causes them to disappear. KDE's Konqueror is excellent, though lacking in features. I think this is the one to watch. -- Regards, Deana

All, I have finally got internet access under linux. The final fix was a play with the routing table and all works fine. This email is being sent from linux. Thanks to all who helped me with this problem.

So you almost certainly don't want a gateway on that network just yet. Can anyone who has done this recommend a good tutorial, as I don't fancy writing one ;-)

Should... I intend to set up my own internal network and run ppp on demand with a firewall etc... but as yet can't get ppp working. so at the moment the network card isn't even connected to any cables.

Diamond's SupraExpress series work well with Linux and are often recommended. I personally wouldn't recommend them as Diamond's tech support really really really suck with their autoresponders and start quoting legal stuff at you as soon as they find out you want support for something other than the recommended spec on the box.

Sorry I can't remember what distribution you're using, so I can't advise how to fix it permanently, but you could try using the "route" command to delete any route on the internal network. > I have a 3com ethernet card in the machine as well which has an IP > address of 10.10.10.2 this is configured at bootup with a default > gateway of 10.10.10.1. how do I change it all to work with PPP? It should just work, but why is there a gateway if this is the ppp machine... ie, is there another network beyond 10.10.10.1?

It's reportedly an improvement on NS4.7x in many respects, but incompatible in some others (third party plugins are troublesome at the moment) and has too much debugging code left in because they forked and fixed what is now quite an old Moz rather than maintaining a patchset. I'll wait a little, then try building a new Moz. MJR

Thanks to all who replied, for somereason, changing the cable allows it to work under kppp. I can now log into my isp and get an ip connection. but I can't get anywhere else as I think my default route and my DNS isn't configured right. Wont resolve names and pings don't work for any address other than the other end of my ppp link. I have a 3com ethernet card in the machine as well which has an IP address of 10.10.10.2 this is configured at bootup with a default gateway of 10.10.10.1. how do I change it all to work with PPP?
