    In my opinion there are two sets of 'standards': The W3C/Sun/anything
    and Microsoft. The new MSN Search give me an unformated page and tells
    me that their style*** is not compatable with my browser. At least
    they don't dare say that my browser is not compatable with their
    style***!

    I will go so far as to suggest that Microsoft deliberatly broke the
    stylesheets to 'force' people to use IE. I hope that in the end, it
    will turn out that they just forced people use Google.

    I will check that. Thank you.

    I will look into this. It was also slow in FC3, but not this bad. I'm
    on a 1.3 Duron box with 512mb ram. It shouldn't be slow.

    No biggie. I didn't bill Redhat for 4 coasters than I burned with FC3
    from their site. But I did learn to use mirrors!

    I got it to connect without a router. In another thread, I'm trying to
    connect two machines (FC4 and WinXP) to the net without a router. I
    just don't want to spend 250 shekels on another heater under my desk.
    It's hot enough!
