Date: 15 Jul 1995 07:32:25 GMT Organization: University of Natal (Durban), South Africa Lines: 22 Message-ID: <3u7qu9$1a9@owl.und.ac.za> References: <steve.805757720@ichips.intel.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: kestrel.ugrd.und.ac.za X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] : I'm trying to get Netscape 1.1N to work under FreeBSD 2.0.5-RELEASE, using : the BSDI port of Netscape. This should, as far as I know, work in theory. : The problem I see is that when Netscape starts up, it says "uname() failed" : and complains about not knowing what the machine name is it's running on. : I compiled up a quick C program to call uname(3) and it works fine. Anyone : else try to do this? Did this used to work under 2.0 and not 2.0.5? : Patches? Suggestions? Well Steve, I have been running that version on 2.0 and it also fails the uname - not a major problem in my book - it seems to work fine aside from that. If the error message doesn't bug you, then it's not a problem. Later...
