	You need a bit of magic here as Linux resolv.conf format is not
the same as FreeBSD's.

	Put the following in /compat/linux/etc/resolv.conf

------------------
order hosts,bind
multi on
------------------

	And launch linux netscape with this lot in it's environment

XNLSPATH=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/nls
XKEYSYMDB=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB
RESOLV_HOST_CONF=/compat/linux/etc/resolv.conf

	Away you go :)
