I downloaded and ran Netscape with no problems. I, of couse, have the BSD version installed though. I, however, want to install Star Office and the binaries only come in Linux format. However, the install program does some sort of uname command and finds the machine to be BSD, not Linux. This crashes the install program. Is there some way of duping the machine to return values of Linux and such with the uname command
