[techtalk] Linux Mandrake 7.0

[coldfire]

richie,
how about lynx?  open up a terminal emulator (Eterm, xterm, etc) and see
if 'lynx freshmeat.net' will bring up their page.  narrow it down to see
if it's a netscape specific problem or what.

as for your cd-rom drive .. did you install mandrake from that drive?  if
so, you may just be lacking support for the particular drive in whichever
kernel you are currently running.
