Re: Linux Netscape and OpenBSD 2.6

Thank you for yours suggestions, but I already tried to delete (actually
rename) all netscape directories (.netscape, nsmail, nsnews and
ns_imap), but the problem remained!

Moreover, as time passes I found the BSDI version of Netscape too much

I think that tomorrow I'll format my disk and start a fresh 2.6
installation...  :-(

Bye.
