In order to help you, you must provide some information about your system. Run the command "uname -a" and cut-n-paste the output back to me. This will show what kind of NetBSD you have. Mine says: kstailey@owl$ uname -a OpenBSD owl 2.0 OWL#2 i386 OK, so it's not a NetBSD, but it's close compared to, say, Linux. Run the command "file netscape" in the same directory as the netscape binary and cut-n-paste the output back to me. Mine says: kstailey@owl$ file /usr/X11R6/bin/netscape /usr/X11R6/bin/netscape: 386BSD demand paged executable This is the 386BSD version. It runs on NetBSD, OpenBSD and probably FreeBSD. Thanks, Ken
