I have been using netscape1.1 and 1.12 with no problems on my FreeBSD2.0.5
box at home over slirp connection to my school.
I have just installed Netscape-2.0beta2.
Now, the problem is when I launch netscape, netscape error message window
shows up saying "Netscape has detected /root/.netscape/lock file ...
Check if you are running another instance of netscape ... Disk caching
will be disabled ..." But I am not running another netscape on x windows.
I am the only user, and my directory check shows no such file 'lock'.

What am i doing wrong?
Many thanks to some kind soul who would help me with this.
