From 00bb2abdd786eb72018a53d488077a233db935a3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pav Lucistnik Date: Fri, 19 Aug 2005 20:34:19 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] 6 Desktop Applications: - kill the section on Netscape browser, it was removed from the Ports collection two months ago for long term unpatched security problems. Its 6 and 7 versions never gained a significant mindshare against Mozilla anyway. - remove all other references to Netscape - update Adobe Acrobat references to mention version 7 and remove the example for package installation, we don't have Acrobat packages due to licensing restrictions. - unify capitalization of the Ports collection Approved by: keramida (mentor) --- .../books/handbook/desktop/chapter.sgml | 61 +++---------------- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 53 deletions(-) diff --git a/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/desktop/chapter.sgml b/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/desktop/chapter.sgml index 28c4967eb6..1f063bb529 100644 --- a/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/desktop/chapter.sgml +++ b/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/desktop/chapter.sgml @@ -50,7 +50,6 @@ Browsers (such as Mozilla, - &netscape;, Opera, Firefox, Konqueror) @@ -146,13 +145,6 @@ Gtk+ - - &netscape; - heavy - light - Linux Binary Compatibility - - Opera light @@ -323,34 +315,6 @@ - - &netscape; - - Netscape - - - The Ports Collection contains several versions of the - &netscape; browser.
