Looks just fine to me!  Running netscape4.77.

Everything Richard says about installing SuSE linux on my machine is
true!  Thanks a million to Richard, Alex, Graham and everyone else who
helped get a decent Linux up and running.  I am now the proud owner of a
quadruple-boot machine, with extra bells and whistles (2 widoze
identities, my old and decrepit Gentus identity and the spanking new
SuSE7.2 identity, plus memory test and special SuSE boot options (hope I
won't ever need those!)).  I have been putting off trying to reinstall
linux for months now, because I was nervous about destroying my data and
whether I'd be able to pull it off, so I am very relieved that the
process was so quick and painless. 

On booting up, network connection worked beautifully.  Printing was also
a doddle to set up with yast.  I've now configured old Netscape for mail
(because I can work out how to do that) so I can thank you all
properly.  I couldn't get balsa to understand how to get my mail
though.  I'll try again and ask here if it still doesn't work.  I also
have some questions about Sax2/XF86Setup because I still can't get my
PS/2 mouse to work properly.  The many places where XF86Config can be
found doesn't help: can anyone tell me how to find out which is
currently being used.

You are all (that is, all who were at yesterday's meeting, not the whole
Sheflug list, sorry :-( invited round to my house for a meal, let me
know when that can be.  Unfortunately I won't be able to make the
meeting again until October because of holiday and conference
committments.  But maybe some of you would be free to come over to our
place for a meal afterwards?
