Subject: Problems running Linux Netscape 2.0b3 binary under FBSD 2.1R

I downloaded the Linux Netscape 2.0b3 package and got the binary to run,
alright... But I get the following messages during startup, and it can't
resolve any hostnames whatever:

resolv+: "bind" is an invalid keyword
resolv+: "hosts" is an invalid keyword

There's nothing wrong with my DNS or resolv.conf setup, as I can ping the
same hostnames that Netscape can't resolve. Dig works just fine as well...
Anyone have any ideas as to what might be wrong here?

BTW - I want to run the Linux version instead of the unknown-BSD version
so's to get the Java support (for those who haven't figured it out ;v).

Thanks for any help...
- Mike
