Issue:
Complaints have arisen about Netscape 4.03's performance with memory management and with Windows NT gateways. These are simply notes regarding its installation and performance.
Response:
- download for linux 2.0 from ftp.netscape.com and place in /tmp.
- install the netscape wrapper wrapper available from ftp.redhat.com; this unpacks and installs the netscape binary you downloaded from netscape.com (remember, that binary must be in /tmp).
- does not by default seem to bring up the "proxies"
menu until the file Netscape.ad is installed as
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/Netscape.
- "Document contains no data" error message? it's not netscape's
fault and it's not your machine's fault, it's the NT gateway's
fault. reboot it.
- periodically Netscape 4.03 goes off it's rails and starts
devouring memory and slowing down the machine drastically.
the only solution i know of is to use Netscape 3.01 instead.
