Yes sir, I did (with both the pre6 and 2.2.17-1 sources). And
everything is good as Debian/Linux has always been (known to be). :)

Pardon me. But doesn't it mean then that I can also download the
source from woody/potato and build it on the sparc? Would you
point me to the doc that teaches me how to "build it on the sparc"?
Thank you!
Yes, I have tried M17. But I thought it less "useable" than M14 (M15
hangs trying to create the profile): from the logs that scroll by on
the window where I started mozilla, it appears to generate many more
error messages and is slower (than M14). But it might be because I
didn't configure it correctly---although it was installed by dselect.
Anyhow, because I need to access secure server (https) frequently, I
thought netscape (or communicator) would be more appropriate.
Again, thank you very much for ... hmm, everything!!

P.S. Thanks, Herbert Xu, for reminding me to use the list
concerning my question about the 12x22 font problem.
