NS4.78, symlinks and plugins

[Sebastiaan <S.Breedveld@ITS.TUDelft.NL>]

Hi,

I have just installed Netscape 4.78 in /usr/lib/netscape/478 (downloaded
from netscape.com and installed it like the previous (debian) version),
and all is working fine except the plugins. When I run
'/usr/lib/netscape/478/netscape/netscape' the plugins are detected and
working well, but when I start it via a symlink (like
'/etc/alternatives/netscape', pointing to the above path), the plugins are
not detected.

Any ideas on this?

Thanks in advance,
Sebastiaan

  NT is the OS of the future. The main engine is the 16-bit Subsystem
  (also called MS-DOS Subsystem). Above that, there is the windoze 95/98
  16-bit Subsystem. Anyone can see that 16+16=32, so windoze NT is a 
  *real* 32-bit system.
