Hello...

I am trying to get my Netscape Icon to point to my new install.. I went to the properties for that icon and changed the path to where the new netscape is at.. Unfortunatly that does nothing.. If I go through the file manager and double click on where I told the icon to go, it works.. Or likewise if I do it through the command line it works...

Any Ideas???

Thanks.

(redhat 7.1 Gnome desktop) :confused:

Did you make the path absolute? That usually helps me when a link is not working.

Why not just make a short bash script like this:

../../usr/local/bin/netscape/netscape

in a text editor and save it to the desktop, make it executable, and use it?
