Just curious.  I've been reading of all the problems people have
been having with netscape.  I'm running FreeBSD 2.1.5R From the
Walnut Creek (subscription) cdrom and the X that came with it.
I've had no problems as described here (that I've recognized,
anyway) nor did I when I previously ran FBSD 2.1.0R.

Am I just lucky?

But, while I'm at it, I still prefer mosaic.  Unfortunately, I
don't have motif nor can I afford it right now.  Is there no
precompiled mosaic (from a reliable site, of course) for FreeBSD as
there is for, say, SunOS?
