Very interesting. I created a blank "home page" in Firefox, copied
it to file:///mnt/srvr1/index.html and made that the opening page.
That worked on this F-13 box and was accessible on the F-14 too.
Then I thought I'd try Opera on the F-14 computer but anything I did
caused Opera to choke on that address, it kept inserting "localhost"
and I had to keep killing it.
So I installed Dillo and did "dillo file:///mnt/srvr1/index.html"
and it pops right up and as you say I can access my Firefox
bookmarks from Dillo on the other computer.
Now I have to decide what I want to do with it ...
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
Bob
