BTW I am using glibc2.1 (was using potato and hamm before, though), SVGA X-server, and an S3 Virge card. I used to use a 1MB Cirrus card. (I have used both ISA and PCI versions) without trouble. frankie :-P > On Thu, 17 Jun 1999, Michael Talbot-Wilson wrote: > > > > On Tue, 15 Jun 1999, Craig McPherson wrote: > > > > > > > Are any of the earier versions of Netscape more stable than 4.6? > > > > I'm willing to use whatever is stable.
