The thing is that netscape 7.x is build for 'older versions' of linux (glibc 2.2.x to be technical), so running this software on newer systems will mean some work-arounds will have to be applied (the ld_assume_kernel and threading thingy you refered to). A few options exist to make your life easier: - Use the rh9 included mozilla, and use the very latest java (the _02 version), flash (macromedia website), realplayer (realone beta links are in this list archives) plugins, most of them have been fixed to work on rh9. Also crossover plugins needs to be updated to version 1.2.0 if you use that (upgrade is free if you had a version), the change log (http://www.codeweavers.com/products/crossover/change_log.php) mentions it now works on rh9. - Don't use redhat 9, the cutting edge is often refered to as bleeding edge.. for a good reason ;-) Most of the problems you have now don't exist on redhat 8.0, run the older version for half a year untill the world has had a chance to catch up and update their software - Either start netscape / mozilla with ld_assume_kernel, or start x-windows with this line to make it apply to all apps you run (LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19 startx), you'll loose a few cool features but might save a few headaches to Personally i would advice option 1, this way you can enjoy the new nice toys and features and with the updated plugins mostly feature complete. Enjoy & g'luck! -- Chris
