What do you mean by 'die'? Does the entire system hang? Does netscape just hang? And how long did you wait before you declared it as "dead"? Netscape has always had issues with websites that are very table intensive (as in, websites with lots of nested tables). It can often times take netscape MINUTES to render a page if it is highly intensive in nested tables.

Thinker,

You should try it. It dies as soon as the entire HTML file is downloaded. Tried it a copy of time and was able to reproduce the error each time. Can you test the site with Opera on your IA-1?

I was able to duplicate your problem!

Netscape dies because RAM / DISk is full
To confrm it I remount / as rw, deleted .netscape directory, and restarted netscape.
I hit your site and my flash filled, and netscape crashed.
I then reformatted my external 128MB flash,
mounted under /opt, I moved my /home directory to /opt/home, now the new netscape
directory defaults to /opt/home, I hit your site and it worked fine.

I am working on a few soultions that will help most of us with a Home LAN. I've got a
LINUXPPC box up as my firewall/web server/IMAP server and I'm going to export some disk out from it. I'm going to export
/export/home and /export/opt from it. /export/opt will have all the applications that I can't fit inside the flash.

There's a couple of approaches that I am taking. Someone said that they added USB wireless support to the modified jailbait image... so I am waiting for that so I can
Dolly it up to my internal flash. I might base everything off of that or I might install TALINUX on my development box through the IDE->CF adapter, boot off externel, and
install the large apps on my server.

Good Luck!

Also I may go with mozilla for a browser.
The old netscape browser has been know to
have rendering problems with some newer website, probs with dynamic html, stuff like that.
