It doesn't. But I hadn't installed it yet, because I was still
fighting with KDE... and I didn't want to risk crashing the box
several hours into the compile by installing Netscrape at the
same time. Yeah, probably paranoia, but by that time I was a
little bit frazzled, a little bit sleep deprived, and a lot
unhappy.
I have seldom had to fight so much with any box as this one. I
am starting to call it Murphy!
