This sound suspiciously familiar from RedHat and related systems, but not Debian AFAIK. The commonality is that the wrapper looks for an existing Netscape instance on the same display. Drives me *buggy* when I'm logged in to multiple systems and I want to launch (or *have* to launch) a Netscape session on a remote system, say, to use help files on some fscking broken proprietary database install instructions.... Don't recall having the problem with Debian though. > Try netscape --no-remote to disable this behaviour. I'll try to remember this myself. -- Karsten M.
