	I'm actually runnin potato now on my machine but it was install'd=20
from the 2.1 CDs after a brand new harddrive was install'd... upon some=20
investigation I found that netscape is actually a shell script wrapper loca=
ted
as /usr/X11R6/bin/netscape... If you look in that script it has a grep rout=
ine
which grabs the browser.startup.homepage from your preferences.js in your
~/.netscape/ directory.. One thing you may want to check is the actual menu
options for your window manager... I noticed many of them have the Debian=
=20
homepage URL hardcoded in the command line executed when you select the menu
item... a good test for this is try startin Netscape from an xterm and see =
if
it goes to your selected homepage instead...

	Respectfully,
