    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
