This is really two bugs in one: 1) Netscape composer crashes immediately if you try to insert a link. No warning no message, happens every time. I have netscape-communicator-4.7-1.1 2) It seems that I loose my ppp connection way more than I should (more than Windows machines using same line do). It seems to happen when I am trying to send an email from Netscape, but it isnt clear. The /var/log/messages contains the following lines regularly that might indicate something: Dec 14 22:43:08 volcan modprobe: can't locate module char-major-108 Dec 14 22:42:37 volcan pppd[8536]: Terminating on signal 15. The second seems to be saying there are problems on the other end, but as I said it happens much more on my machine than any other. I am running ppp-2.3.10-3 Thanks, David
Known bug in netscape composer. No real workaround available (except for possibly running the libc5 version), sorry. Are you running the errata initscripts as well?
I have initscripts-4.48-1. Not sure if this is the errata one or not. If it isnt, then I will try downloading that as well.
The ppp problems should be fixed in the errata initscripts and pppd. Netscape is, unforutnately, not fixed yet.
