| Hi Peter --
| Life on the bleeding edge. Ain't it great?

Heh, bleeding edge? When i first installed 6.2 it would make my system reboot
for no reason at all and X didnt work. I just want to get my system stable
again :-)

| Do you have java turned on, by chance? Just curious. I'm also assuming
| you read Linus' comments about 2.4-test1 :-)

Java is turned off and this happens regardless of weither in running 2.2.15 or
2.4.0.
Hey does anyone know where I could get a dynamicly linked version of osf\1
netscape?
I'm using 3.04 gold of the CD and it works fine (no crashes) and it only takes
up 8MB or ram.

Peter
