[ale] problems with ncd explora 701 thin client "X-terminal" and netscape and mozilla

[Christopher Fowler]

Your device probably does not have the flash space to store
konqueror and related libraries.

If you run it remotely, then it is possible to just use the
thin client as a display.

Is netscape running on the terminal or a Linux box?
