On redhat 6.0, I think someone found out that installing the 100dpi fonts
_and_ the 75dpi fonts is necessary to make netscape java work. (maybe
you've got them both on your slink box, hence the difference?) Since rh6.0
uses glibc 2.1 and kernel 2.2.x, like potato, this bit of magic might work
for your potato system.
