A third problem is that I can't import bookmarks from a saved copy on a floppy. I know that the linux version of Netscape doesn't have the 'import bookmarks' (or somesuch), so I overwrote /home/chris/.netscape/bookmarks.html with the one from the floppy. I know the bookmarks are OK, because they are there when I issue, netscape /home/chris/.netscape/bookmarks.html It seems that my netscape is not looking there for the bookmarks. does this have something to do witht the lock file error I am getting?
