Hi Marcelo, this problem is hardly fixable. Just as Netscape does not work if you first would start ROOT. We could implement something like -install for ROOT but then the screen colors would be just as bad. Best thing is to get a modern Linux PC or "thin client" with >32K colors. Never a color problem anymore. Cheers, Fons. Marcelo G.
