To all

I bit the bullet and downloaded netscape 461
and java 118 and proceeded into difficulties.

Netscape installed without trauma, I had to download 
"Feature Install" before I could install Java. ( I think I
prefer the old install routine, Wizards suck)

Only the runtime and font could be selected, the other
options ( toolkit,etc ) were grayed out. According to 
the readme these programs may not have been downloaded.

No other programs are at the software choice site and for 
clarification the download I do have is 

-- IBM OS/2 Warp Developer Kit Java (TM) Technology
-- Edition Version 1.1.8     all 20 meg of it.

This is supposed to contain all the options.

After rebooting from the install the locked file driver
states.
          LS10006  insufficient space to process locked files.

although I have a gig spare on the drive; it is unknown if 
install has completed succesfully.

A quirk in the new netscape may or may not be related.
I logged onto the comp.os.os2 newgroup to see if the 
problem was mine alone and found that netsscape
would only display the message header and not the 
body of the message, although the  progress indicator
shows several K dowloading with each message.

Anyone else have these symptoms?

PS I noticed Yahoo has been dropped from
net461 search list.

I logged on to Yahoo anyway and found
that no type in field is provided for search key word
only a search button.

Other search engines are OK???????
