Netscape 2.0 is unstable under Win95(crashes frequently when printing), java also causes problems. Its also unstable under Solaris 2.4/2.5, crashes randomly(just the browser, not the OS). Now I have a question. I just installed FreeBSD 2.1(Walnut Creek CDROM), on a 133 Pentium, 32 MB RAM, Diamond Stealth 2001(2 MB DRAM), with an Adaptec 2940UW SCSI card. The install went fine, however when I atempt to run Xfree86 my system locks up with the disk activity light constant, and forces me to hard-boot. Did you have to do anything special to get your setup to work ? The video card works(almost) with Solaris 2.5(x86), but the display is so poor, its not usable. TIA Mark
