Mandrake 81

[Ted Ozolins]

I've just about given up on Mandrake and its bastardized offerings. As root 
I've gotten everything to work (with the help of list members, thank you) but 
as a mere mortal, not so. of all things mozilla will not run as a user, 
netscape 6 will not run as a user. I keep getting:

** ERROR **: First `engine` section must include a `stock` section.
Aborting...
Aborted

I get the same message from Netscape 6 as well as Mozilla.

On the another box (wife's), I have Workstation 3.1.1 and it has Netscape 6 
and Mozilla and it works just great.  The box (son's) running SuSe 7.3 has 
netscape 6 and Mozilla and it works just great. I've maintained these 
computers since COL 1.1, this is the first time I've encountered a browser 
not working for a user. Netscape 4.x woks ok on the mandrake box but I want 
to run mozilla. I noticed that I can not run the gnome terminal as user and 
that sure is strange. It works great as root. Mandrake the Microsoft of the 
Linux comunity. 

I've ordered a new Matrox vidio card for this box and since I have all source 
packages sitting on its own drive I'll backup all the files I need and send 
Mandrake to /dev/null. Workstation 3.1.1 may have older libs etc, but at 
least everything works.
