I have just installed Netscape-2.0beta2. Now, the problem is when I launch netscape, netscape error message window shows up saying "Netscape has detected /root/.netscape/lock file ... Check if you are running another instance of netscape ... Disk caching will be disabled ..." But I am not running another netscape on x windows. I am the only user, and my directory check shows no such file 'lock'. What am i doing wrong? Many thanks to some kind soul who would help me with this. -- MyongIn Kye mikye@jove.acs.unt.edu
